This gorgeous typography project is anything but a joke

We've seen some great projects using typography as art (opens in new tab) in our time, and here's one that will put a smile on your face.

Award-winning illustrator Andy Smith (opens in new tab)'s project brings to life 18 pages of jokes with the kind of beautifully playful and quirky typography that's won him big name clients such as Nike, Orange and Sony PSP.

The book (opens in new tab) has been risograph-printed in a limited run of 400, with a stunning screenprinted and varnished cover, and the whole thing looks pretty darn wonderful. You can also buy a series of prints and coasters based on some of the designs.
