For over 25 years John Berry has been designing books, editing books and writing about typography.
He was house designer for Copper Canyon Press in the early 1990s, and more recently has both edited and designed several books for Mark Batty Publisher, including U&lc: influencing design & typography.
John Berry is also one of the foremost writers on typography and design. His first two Dot-font books are selections from the essays he has been writing for the last seven years in his “dot-font” column for Creativepro.com. In these direct, colloquial essays, he turns a critical eye on the role of design in our everyday lives.
John D. Berry is the former editor of U&lc (Upper & lower case), and he edited the landmark volume Language Culture Type: international type design in the age of Unicode (ATypI/Graphis, 2002).
Wessel & Lieberman Booksellers is proud to host the first exhibition of John D. Berry’s book designs. The exhibition will run through the end of April. A reading and book launch, open to the public, will take place on Thursday, March 22, from 6-8pm for his two new books, Dot-font: Talking About Design and Dot-font: Talking About Fonts (Mark Batty Publisher, 2007).
