Feast for the Eyes by Susan Bright is a book about food photography across the century, published by Aperture.

Atelier Dyakova from London, in charge of the design, used the kitsch and the retro as inspiration, looking for modern revivals of Victorian typefaces. They stumbled upon Ellmer Stefan’s imprint The Pyte Foundry and used no more than 3 typefaces from its catalog for the book: Prhyme for the cover, Kink B for the back cover and title page, and Houdini for titles in the book interior. The rest of the text is set with the versatile Lyon Text from Commercial Type.

Read more about the design process on It’s Nice That, or hear from commissioning editor Denise Wolff on the book in this video.
