A bundle of three volumes compiling facsimiles of typeface specimens from Lucian Bernhard, Roger Excoffon, and Aldo Novarese
Small masterpieces from the age of metal type, foundry specimen booklets introduced new typefaces to the world with exquisitely arranged showings and a variety of original in-use examples. Distributed as ephemeral marketing, many are in fact bold visual essays, statements of typographic craft, and prized keepsakes containing essential information about type as it was meant to be seen.
These volumes reproduce specimens of typefaces by celebrated German-American designer Lucian Bernhard, France’s midcentury maestro Roger Excoffon, and quintessential Italian type designer Aldo Novarese. Save by buying all three at once!
