Russ & Daughters: 100 Years of Appetizing

For this cookbook, we developed a typographic language based on a century of materials from the New York institution. The book is filled with history, family stories, guides to caviar and smoked fish, and recipes from their three locations.

Jason Polan's illustrations (some were part of his "Every Person in New York" series) punctuate the book.

Chapter openers reference the painted signs in the original store, the style of which are still used today.
