“As printing on paper is being increasingly reduced in favor of online and digital publish
“As printing on paper is being increasingly reduced in favor of online and digital publishing, digital foundries are slashing the number of type specimens they produce, if any. Emigre Fonts holds on to tradition, but many of the other name brands have not. This is why it’s useful to see how specimens were produced in the 1920s and ‘30s. This brochure for Metropolis designed by W. Schwerdtner (1928) from the Stempel Type Foundry–founded by David Stempel in Frankfurt am Main in 1895 (and distributed in the U.S. by Continental)–is a little gem.” -- source link
