The exercise required creating a book by exploiting only its black-and-white typography, namely, the Sabon font of Jan Tischold. The text is a sustained reflection on the work of the typographer, and historically it answers a letter from his fierce opponent, Max Bill. The inspiring title, Faith and Reality, condenses the opposition between belief and reality. The cover attempts to contrast believing and seeing. The folding allows one to read either "faith" or "reality". The content of the book consists of the text by Tischold and unveils a fragmented typographic universe which is recomposed by a backfolding of the pages.
