Urgent! The Messages must be the funniest type specimen booklet ever made. Peter Bruhn has found a very original solution to that age-old dilemma -- what texts to use to showcase new type designs?

Instead of relying on the obligatory pangrams or mildly amusing fake newspaper headlines, Peter has appropriated the all too familiar spam messages one finds in his mailbox on a daily basis and turned them into a superb type specimen book.

This hilarious and often outrageously offensive publication is beautifully produced and a definite must-have. Funny from cover up to the tiny credits at the last page."

When asked if the content might be a bit too explicit for the usually puritan American audience, Peter's deadpan reaction was: 'But it's the Americans who sent them to me!' "
