Football Type 2 by Denis Hurley and F37

F37 Neuro by F37 Foundry is in use for the Football Type 2 publication, written by Denis Hurley and designed by F37. Words from F37’s portfolio site:

Football Type 2 is the sequel and revised edition to the award winning book Football Type – a book celebrating the history of football and typography.

From a patchy beginning as strictly identificatory aids, shirt numbers have grown in significance, with players gaining such attachment to the digits on their backs that they become part of their individual brands. The business of designing fonts reflects that and Football Type 2 is a celebration of that creativity as well as the historic stories behind the numbers.

In addition to the standard version, there’s also a limited edition that comes with a numbered dust jacket with lettering found within the book using the latest digital print technology.
