You may want to stick to Times New Roman when penning a serious piece of literature, but the Chan Hwee Chong 'Books' font is terrific text that will make your writing at least appear well-read.

The typography was fashioned by Chong, a talented art director responsible for some pretty [genius graphic designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/font-moodify), and features creatively cocked texts that easily act as a whole alphabet. From the academic-looking 'A' to the zig-zag positioned publications that make up the 'Z,' the lettering is perfectly fit for [library lovers and voracious readers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/book-club-collection).

The [perfectly positioned hardcovers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/penguin-x-moebe-book-stand) that comprise the Chan Hwee Chong 'Books' font are dynamic designs not to be dismissed because the clever alphabet is an all-around novel idea!
