Mister K meets Mister M

By Jeff Waxman ⋅ February 10, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Peter Mendelsund, one of the industry’s top designers (and, honestly, one of my favorites) explains the hideous choices he made when redesigning Kafka for Schocken.  On the plus side, there’s the gorgeous typography by Julia Sysmäläine developed from Kafka’s own handwriting (!) and the brilliant Knopf/Arendt story for industry nerds. Enjoy.
