Leptis Magna was a city from the Roman Empire whose ruins can still be found in Lybia. In 1818, part of the temple was brought to England and rebuilt in Windsor Great Park, though assembled in a different configuration. These reshuffled ruins are inspiration for artist Anna Barham on a series of projects using anagrams.

Among these projects is a series of biro pen drawings that Anna Barham wanted to translate into a book. The result, Return To Leptis Magna, compiles anagrams of the title sentence in a bespoke typeface. The blue colour references the biro drawings and the grid have letters equally spaced horizontally and vertically, keeping the text from being read as lines or columns and thus creating an image. To highlight the shuffling of letters the typeface has no letterform repeated within the sentence, i.e. the design of each of the three T's are different.
