So, his were the types we wanted most of all. (They had the mats for Van Dijck, but, meh.) Anyway, coveting what one can’t have can either make a serial killer or an admirer. In this case we’re just fans of Jan van Krimpen—especially his book design and postage stamps. But this book is about his typefaces. Written in his own words, this grouchy little book tells the story of each of his faces, their successes, and their shortcomings.","brand":"Carol J.
