Member Geo… Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 Just a random thought, but has anyone ever seen or heard of a compiled survey of what lies in private and institutional collections of US and European metal fonts around the world? Link to comment
Ralf Herrmann Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 Would be nice, but I’m afraid many of the owners of these collections don’t even have proper catalogs. I feel so lucky that we could finally catalog our museum’s foundry type this year through an internship—after the museum existed for 25 years. https://pavillon-presse.de/archiv/font/buchdruck/ Link to comment
Member Geo… Posted December 21, 2018 Author Share Posted December 21, 2018 That's an impressive collection, and obviously very organized. Does the museum allow the fonts to be printed from? Link to comment
