The exhibit explores the work of self-taught French graphic designer Robert Massin and his groundbreaking career. An interpretive alphabet guides viewers through the depth and range of Massin's multiple roles as book designer, typographer, art director, author and photographer in celebration of his interest in alphabets as forms of organization.

The exhibition, which includes books, posters, photographs and ephemera on view for the first time in the U.S., was first shown at the Cooper Union Herb Lubalin Study Center of Design and Typography in New York.
