Typographic Variations

When we get stuck and don’t know what to do (with a design, not life) this is a book to which we turn. Hermann Zapf assembled seventy-eight text and title pages to show what can be done with care and taste. There are ultra-modern compositions informed by classical movements and ultra-classical compositions that look ultra-fresh. Everything in this beautifully-produced book is an inspiration and serves as a model of what can be done with a little bit of type, ink, paper, and space. A remarkable thing.
