History:
In the mid-1970s, graphic designer Takenobu Igarashi embarked on a prolific, decade-spanning inquiry into the artistic and spatial potential of three-dimensional typography. His initial forays into Latin script alphabetic lettering—profoundly shaped by the avant-garde typographic movements of the 1920s—graced the covers of magazines, posters, and record sleeves. Igarashi’s timeless signature aesthetic exemplifies his command of three-dimensional forms and perspective, meticulously honed well before the advent of digital design technologies.
