"To steal a book is an elegant offense" is a Chinese saying of unknown provenance. STOLEN BOOKS is an independent publisher (based in Lisbon, Portugal) that steals (with the agreement of the authors) and publishes works whose absence constitutes an offense to the international book market. Inspired by the fun facts behind the company's name, a custom typeface was designed to emphasize the company's original intention reducing the gap between the vision of the niche artists and the viewers.
