FUSE - Neville Brody

Launched by Neville Brody and Jon Wozencroft in 1991, FUSE was the groundbreaking publication that took design and typography into radically new and unforeseen spaces. The major influence of its revolutionary and experimental approach to typographic language reverberates still, and today-20 years after its launch-the explorations carried out by some of the most famous and influential names in the industry stand out as futuristic and ahead of their time.

Taking the alphabet as its base, and enabled by the advent of digital design, FUSE became a laboratory for new ideas and risks, as well as a hothouse of new thinking. Published over 20 editions, each issue was themed and included both fonts and posters by specially commissioned collaborators, all of which are on show here.To commemorate the release of issue 20, TASCHEN brings you a complete compendium of all the issues. Exclusive to this publication are FUSE19 and FUSE20, two newly commissioned and never-before-published issues, in the form of 10 A2 posters and 24 downloadable fonts, making this boxed edition a collector's item. This is the legacy created by the best contemporary thinkers on typeface design: the list of contributors to FUSE reads like a who's who of typographic design, from Erik Spiekermann to Stefan Sagmeister, Peter Saville, Jonathan Barnbrook and Tobias Frere-Jones, plus many more. Editorial contributors include Adrian Shaughnessy and Jon Wozencroft.Included in this special edition:
