Designer Elizabeth Yaffe paired Sharp Sans Display No. 1 with lettering adapted and repainted from Cortado for the cover of Jami Attenberg’s memoir I Came All This Way to Meet You. Yaffe previously used hand-painted lettering based on Cortado on the cover for Afterparties.

Excerpts from the official description:

In this brilliant, fierce, and funny memoir of transformation, Jami Attenberg reveals the defining moments that pushed her to create a life, and voice, she could claim for herself. What does it take to devote oneself to art? What does it mean to own one’s ideas? What does the world look like for a woman moving solo through it?

Exploring themes of friendship, independence, class, and drive, I Came All This Way to Meet You is an inspiring story of finding one’s way home—emotionally, artistically, and physically—and an examination of art and individuality that will resonate with anyone determined to listen to their own creative calling.
