Book 

by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. 

Riverhead Books (2015)

Condensed but intense exploration of what it means to be a woman nowadays.

In this personal, eloquently-argued essay—adapted from her much-admired TEDx talk of the same name—Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, award-winning author of Americana, offers readers a unique definition of feminism for the twenty-first century, one rooted in inclusion and awareness. Drawing extensively on her own experiences and her deep understanding of the often masked realities of sexual politics, here is one remarkable author’s exploration of what it means to be a woman now—and an of-the-moment rallying cry for why we should all be feminists.

Type

By Superior Type

A serif font with a bold personality and unique decorative details. I can’t wait to match it with the perfect project.

Epika Serif brings a certain playfulness in details to the genre of serif fonts, especially for individual styles and widths, their variations, decorative elements and swashes. However, the font is balanced. It offers delightful entertainment while maintaining seriousness and ease.
