The ubiquity of the alphabet assumes particular character and purpose in Michel Tufery’s Poly Fonts, a visual diary of stories told during the first years of his granddaughter Alice.
Long an advocate for environmental protection and creative pedagogy, Michel’s letters also illustrate his own journeys from Bluff to Cape Reinga, and from Aotearoa to the creatures, islands and voyagers of the great Moana ā Kiwa. From Albatross to Yellow-eyed Hoiho, there is an ethic of care and an educational lens with each Font full of rich narratives and messages.
