Puff is a children’s book by author-designer William Wondriska that tells the story of an old-fashioned steam engine who dreams of adventures outside his freight yard. It was originally published in 1960 by Pantheon books, and reprinted in 2015 by Universe Publishing (also available for borrowing from the Internet Archive).

The book is printed entirely in red and black ink. The story’s text, set mostly in Century Schoolbook, includes some expressive spacing and formatting, including a variety of typefaces integrated with the illustrations.
