Utopia in Utopia consists of the original Latin text Libellus vere aureus, nec minus salutaris quam festivus, de optimo rei publicae statu deque nova insula Utopia by Thomas More (1516), the first to introduce the word “utopia” and its concept. The book was designed by Åbäke and Bryn Lloyd and is set in the fictitious font of the island of Utopia as mentioned in More’s story: “The typeface used here, imaginatively called Goudy Utopia follows the forms of both the utopian alphabet originally designed by Thomas More and *Goudy Text *by Frederic W. Goudy in the 1920s. The latter is derived from the characters of the 42-line Bible of Johann Gutenberg, Mainz, 1455” (colophon).

When we tried to order the book for our library, we received an error message from Lulu informing us that they could not send it “because the source files for the project Utopia in Utopia contain errors preventing it from being printed,” presumably due to the experimental font design. Nevertheless, we did receive a copy but were not charged for it. In an email to apod.li, Maki Suzuki from Åbäke comments on this: “Perhaps Utopia is a non-place and therefore resists materiality such as monetary transactions. It seems perfect.”
