Summary Note
`Designed to mimic Ryan Gander’s annotated copy of the Vintage Classic edition of Italo Calvino’s ‘If on a winter’s night a traveller’ (1979), STABS AT ACADEMIA WITH PAINTERS TOOLS is typeset in Set in Stone; a typeface invented by the artist and produced by Adrien Vasquez of John Morgan Studio. The typeface is based on a collection of stones found by the artist’s children on a beach near their family home. The artist has reapplied his original annotations using an over-sized brush and black calligraphy ink.' [belly band].
