Published in November 2025, Alphabet in Motion by ITP/IMA Adjunct Faculty Member Kelli Anderson is a pop-up book about how letters get their shapes. Six years in the making, this book is an interactive exploration of the history of typography, and the engineering of its pop-up mechanisms is as elegant and beautiful as the letterforms they illustrate!

The book was featured on Adam Savage's Tested on November 20th, where they flip through and show viewers what it looks like on the inside. Watch the video to learn more.
