Last year I was honored to give the 50th Dwiggins Lecture for the Society of Printers in Boston. The recording is now up: www.youtube.com/watch?v=t4LE... I try to capture what gives WAD’s type so much life, and the contemporary designers whose work also has those attributes. #TypeDesign #WADwiggins

IvyMazarin is Jan Maack's revival of Robert Girard's 1921 Astrée. Jan purchased a rare specimen book and spent time sorting through variants, deciding which quirks to keep and which to change. Cool crispness, raised x-height, and a confident 12° slant. Available now on ivyfoundry.com

MMMMMMMMMMMM… Microgramma is a squarish sans conceived to remain legible at very small sizes – hence the name. It was drawn by Alessandro Butti (1893–1959), director of Nebiolo’s Studio Artistico, and first cast in 1952, in five all-caps styles.
Detail from a 1952 specimen for the typeface Microgramma, showing its letter M in all five styles, in 11–12 sizes each.
