About The Poster: A type specimen is a booklet that demonstrates the range of a typeface, applied to headlines and text in a variety of sizes. Each variation of the typeface should be labelled on the page. Type specimens have existed for centuries to help designers pick a font for a project.
This specimen book, printed in Stuttgart in 1912 features the Wiener Grotesk font. From the Letterform Archive in New York, this 32-page book is in very good condition, and is the perfect gift for anyone who loves typography and vintage ephemera.
