    Taschen Type Specimen

    Discussion split from here I have a two volume book Type. A Visual History of Typefaces & Graphic Styles published by Taschen. It is a type specimen book. They provided an key card to access scans of the specimens. I think I am free to distribute them (I need to read the copyright to make sure I am though). So in case you are interested here I can provide them.

    What’s the biggest type specimen book?

    The biggest US type specimen book is very likely one of the ATF books. The 1912 edition with around 1300 pages? The biggest European one might be the Stempel book from 1925 with 1200 pages. Are there other books in a similar size with more than 1000 pages?

    Engraver's Old English

    Hello, I'm doing a design project displaying what Engraver's Old English is used for. Besides religion and newspapers, I'm looking for some help coming up with other ideas that it would be used for. Thanks!
  5. Know your type: A visual history of fonts and graphic styles: 1628–1938 This book offers a connoisseur’s overview of typeface design, exploring the most elegant fonts from the history of publishing. Taken from a distinguished Dutch collection, this exuberant two-volume edition traces the evolution of the printed letter via exquisitely designed catalogs, showing type specimens in roman, italic, bold, semi-bold, narrow, and broad fonts. Borders, ornaments, initial letters, and decorations are also included, along with lithographic examples, letters by sign writers, inscription carvers, and calligraphers. The first volume covers pre–20th century typeface specimens, with texts by editor Cees de Jong and collector Jan Tholenaar. The second volume covers the period from 1900 to the mid-20th century, and contains a historical outline by Alston W. Purvis. Includes exclusive access with TASCHEN keycard to online image library: over 2,400 high-resolution scans of type specimens downloadable for unrestricted use.
