A visually rich, career-spanning monograph written by Louise Fili, showcasing her iconic typography, branding, and Italian-inspired design. With a foreword by Steven Heller.

Step into the distinctive world of Louise Fili, one of the most celebrated voices in contemporary graphic design. Deliziosa showcases, in a sweeping chronological survey, decades of her work, from her early career designing book covers at Pantheon (numbering nearly 2,000) to her influential studio practice shaping some of today’s most recognizable brands, including Tate's, Sarabeth's, Good Housekeeping, and Late July.
