FONTSHOP 1990 CATALOG

Berlin, FontShop GmbH, March 1990. Original edition with supplements. 8v0. Four-ring clasp binder in paper covered decorated boards with sticker. Unpaginated. Typeface samples with elaborate tabbed dividers. Multiple supplements. Former owners initials to front pastedown. Spine heel and corners lightly worn and pushed, interior contents fine, so a nearly fine example.

“Today there are more than 2,000 text typefaces for use in body matter, plus countless others specifically suited for headlines and display. Until recently, the handling of typefaces was an area reserved for specialists: designers, printers, typographers, typesetters; and the design of typefaces was reserved for a mere handful of type designers throughout the world. Now typefaces are widely known as fonts and anybody can use—or misuse—them on his or her desktop personal computer.”
