Monstrous Beauty: A Feminist Revision of Chinoiserie shines a feminist spotlight on an often misunderstood decorative style of porcelain. Within our clean and contemporary design, the use of the title font Ambiguity Radical, where wide and narrow letterforms trade places, helps propel the book’s general sense of rediscovery and surprise.
