Alice’s Adventures Under Ground & In Wonderland, Jhambo Ink

Jhambo Ink, a boutique publisher in London, brought out a limited edition in 1,000 hand-numbered copies of a double book bringing together Caroll’s Alice’s Adventures Under Ground and Alice In Wonderland. Ana Santiago of Index designed the two books joined by their spines in a dos-à-dos binding. The book is richly illustrated by Brazilian artist Zansky.

While the box containing the book is text-less, the covers are exclusively typographic, showcasing Le Murmure in a playful elongated and top-aligned layout. The font is used throughout the book in both its normal shape but also often vertically elongated (without distortions) or horizontally stretched (with distortions). It’s accompanied by Viskjø doing a great job for inter-titles in all caps as well as for the text of the stories themselves.
