Herb Lubalin: American Graphic Designer 1918—1981

First published in 2012, Herb Lubalin: American Graphic Designer 1918—81 was a limited edition monograph of the legendary US typographer and graphic designer.

The book sold out within a year, but thanks to the success of a Kickstarter campaign to republish the book – and the generous support of our backers – we are now able to make it available again in Lubalin’s centenary year.

The 448-page monograph features hundreds of examples of Lubalin’s work (many never before published), and previously unseen photographs of him at work and play.

Divided into sections on his work in Advertising, Typography and Editorial, it features an extensive biographical text by Adrian Shaughnessy that includes interviews with George Lois, Seymour Chwast, Alan Peckolick, Carl Fischer, Steven Heller, and members of the Lubalin family.

Produced in association with The Herb Lubalin Study Center at Cooper Union, New York, and with the active cooperation of the Lubalin family, this monograph has become the definitive work on one of America’s most influential designers.
