Jan Tschichold's type specimen
images taken from amassblog.com which is curated by James Phillips Williams
Williams posted these images on his blog along with the story behind it.
Evidently, while still a student at Yale School of Art he became friends with one of his professors, Paul Rand. Rand and Williams both collected all things written and designed by Jan Tschichold. One day Paul Rand shared this specimen with Williams only in the end he revealed the inside front cover and the ex libris indicating that the specimen had belonged to Tschichold himself. Then he gave the specimen to Williams.
Many thanks to JP Williams for sharing this specimen and the story behind it with us. To read more, go to amassblog.
