"This book skillfully and lovingly re-conceives of typography as a prime vessel for smuggling, as an instrument for remembering and imagining, and as both a type keeper and time traveler."
—Tauba Auerbach

"Yes, yes and more yes! This is the book everyone's mothers brothers cousins uncle and then some have been waiting for. It's all that and a bag of percolated barbecue truffle potato chips. If thats not enough, and you may think it isn't, one gets as a bonus the glorious G. B. Jones being interviewed in poetic depth-sublime."
—Vaginal Davis

"The word "erasure" makes me think of erasers. This book is a pencil. Write with it."
—Ellen Lupton

A Queer Year of Love Letters: Alphabets Against Erasure is a toolkit for writing and remembering queer and trans histories. Expanding on Nat Pyper’s series of fonts whose letterforms derive from the life stories and printed traces of countercultural queers of the last several decades, this new book showcases overlooked biographies alongside previously unseen archival materials, as well as Pyper’s unique approach to designing fonts as containers for memory.

The book debuts the final three fonts in the series and a new essay by Pyper, and includes contributions from Paul Soulellis, Claire Star Finch, Silas Munro, Lukaza Branfman-Verissimo, Rosen Eveleigh, and G. B. Jones that offer vital perspectives on queer archival practices, language lineages, design as protest, and love as the basis for research. Part reader, part type specimen, part love letter, these fonts foreground the politics of queer memory while opening up new avenues for writers, designers, and curious readers.
