    "The sober and lucid design of this catalogue, by London-based designers A2, raises the interesting question perennially faced by designers when designing art and design books: does the designer design the book in the style of the book’s subject, or in a neutral style that allows the subject matter to stand in stylistic isolation? A2/SW/AK wisely avoids designing in the psychedelic style. Instead, they lay the book out with rigour and poise. As is customary in their work, A2 have designed a typeface especially for the project. The font they’ve created is a conventional typewriter-like font with just enough flourishes and quirkiness to hint at psychedelic derangement. "
