Typoart Freunde
Ninja October 5th, 2007
I have book-related spending issues. What’s a ninja to do? There are just too many good books out there.
A group of students from from the Bauhaus-University Weimar affectionately named Das Typoart Freunde (The Typoart Friends) have put out a gorgeous book. Their book, titled Typoart Freunde, documents the history of the German Democratic Republic state type foundry, VEB Typoart Dresden from the 1950s until the late 1980s.
This one’s definitely going on the wish list. It’s 66.90 Euro (about $95 US).
