The Letterform Archive’s Associate Curator Stephen Coles will be on hand Saturday, September 16 from 9:30 to 10:00 to talk about one of the foundations of our collection: typeface specimens. Much of the printed marketing material produced by type foundries between 1920–1960 was small in size and ephemeral in nature, but these little bits of design history are endlessly appealing.
