British artist Fiona Banner (born 1966) recently designed her own font, utilizing an amalgamation of typefaces she had employed in a variety of text-based artworks. In the course of creating this font, Banner became fascinated with the double meaning of the word itself. In addition to a typeface, a font is also a receptacle for holy water, used, chiefly, in baptismal ceremonies, with religious associations derived from an etymological root in Old English and Latin, which roughly translate as a fountain, a spring, or a source. Banner began amassing images of baptismal and holy-water fonts from churches around the world. Font Book presents the full spectrum of her collection. Resembling something of a supply catalog for the devoted, this compendium presents every baptismal font configuration imaginable, along with accompanying church names and location specs.
