Excerpt is a book series influenced by the current blog culture and its loose attitude to publishing. The series will contain shorter essays, collections of articles, republishing of older texts on art, philosophy and architecture. First out is Deleuze och mångfaldens veck, edited by Helena Mattsson and Sven-Olov Wallenstein.
The creative freedom of publishing online is not only appreciated by writers—the same attitude can also be found among typographers and type designers. The demands on a finished, commercial typeface are however very high and many digital tryouts never leave the screen. To give these unfinished typefaces a (new) life, we have dedicated the covers of the Excerpt series to them. First out is our own Aurora Neu, Garnitur II. Every new cover will feature another unpublished typeface from a different designer.
Excerpt is published by AXL Books.
