Shoplifters New Type Design Vol. 2

Shoplifters New Type Design Vol. 2 is an Actual Source hardcover surveying contemporary typography through 156 typefaces by 114 designers.

Across 832 pages, it gives each design space to be seen while bringing a wide range of approaches together in one volume.

Conversations with Nick Benson and Sascha Lobe add perspectives on type-making alongside the visual work. A character overview organized by designer and foundry makes the book useful for looking closely at individual typefaces, not just browsing the collection.

The volume includes modular typeface cubes and comes in a custom SL10 book box. Its hardcover binding, ribbon bookmark, and 6.5 × 9.325-inch format make it a substantial reference for a desk or design library.

Published by Actual Source, the book brings together type specimens, conversations, and practical indexing for readers interested in graphic design, lettering, and the people shaping contemporary type.
