The ancient Greek word Zephyros has a number of meanings : a warm wind as harbinger of spring in the Mediterranean, a light gauze shawl or shirt, a light infantryman, a butterfly, and of course the god of the west wind itself. This book plays on all these meanings, especially punning on the leaves of trees and the leaves of the book, thru a series of fragmentary texts on the nature of the book as an idea and as a reality, accompanied by five hand-painted acrylic drawings. While the texts came first and Miriam Morris's drawings were responses to them, the typographical settings of the texts were often done in direct response to the drawings. The result is a variety of settings in various types and a group of colorful and lively original paintings, each keeping close to its own first version, but nevertheless each being also slightly different from the others.

Zephyros is the 51st book by the printer, the 6th Electio edition, and the 2nd collaboration by Alan Loney & Miriam Morris (the first being New Leaf in 2005). The paintings are on Magnani mouldmade, the printings on Magnani mouldmade and Zerkall Nideggen mouldmade, and the latter paper is also where the printing is in black, red, blue & gold. The printed Magnani sheets are in black only. The types are Dante, Civilite, Libra, Franklin Gothic Greek, Open Kapitalen, Castellar, page size is 145x230mm, 48pages.
