Part type specimen (of Walter Diethelm’s Diethelm-Antiqua) and part history of writing. A lovely showing of handsome forms, we can’t read a word of it because it’s in German and Babylonian Egyptian hieroglyphics and Chinese and Mayan and Hebrew and Arabic and Greek and Russian and Siamese and Devangari and one or two other writing systems we don’t recognize. But you know what looks good with each of these systems? Diethelm’s Diethelm-Antiqua. Includes a loose 6-panel specimen of Diethelm-Antiqua from Stempel. Uncommon.
