This book presents three interconnected palimpsest essays - A Note on the Type, Letter and Sprit and A Note on the Time.

A Note on the Type tells the backstory of a “meta” font updated by Dexter Sinister and used to typeset the Contemporary Condition book series.

Letter and Sprit presents a broad history of the rationalisation of letterforms that considers the same typeface from “a higher point of disinterest".

A Note on the Time tells of a pending proposal for a sundial designed to operate in parallel physical and digital realms. Along the way they contemplate the ambiguous nature of our shared idea of 'time' itself.

Dexter Sinister is the compound name of Stuart Bailey and David Reinfurt. Dexter Sinister works as a publishing imprint and an exhibiting artist. Dexter Sinister is also the name of their basement space on New York’s Lower East Side, which operates as a “just-in-time workshop and occasional bookstore".
