Here are some typeface and monogram designs from the type specimen book Modern Lettering Design and Application edited by Herbert Hoffmann and translated from the German and printed in Germany for New York publisher William Helburn Inc. sometime in the 1930s. Shown here is the work of several noted German type designers and calligraphers, including Heinrich Jost, Rudolf Koch, Ernst Schneidler, Arthur Schulze, Anna Simons, and Emil Rudolf Weiss.

Our copy once belonged to the “Reference Section” of the General Society of Mechanics and Tradesmen of the City of New York, and and you can see its ownership stamp on the last image. This copy also bears the ownership stamp of Hayward Cirker the founder of Dover Publications.

Now, you can take that as a gift, or you can take it as a curse. And that's up to you.

#this parallel came to me like a fever dream last night #and I had to share the sadness with others #and then this sent me on a spiral about communication types between the ot3 #Parker and Eliot understand each other so well #and a lot of what they have is silent communication #like that nod in the rundown job #between Parker and Hardison #direct communication #necessary and developed when figuring out their feelings #between Hardison and Eliot #physical and indirect communication #(ex: handshake bumping each other bickering)#I could write an essay #but instead I will leave you with this gifset #leverage #the long way down job #the rundown job #inde gifs #inde gifs: the long way down job #inde gifs: the rundown job #Eliot Spencer #Parker #inde gifs: leverage parallels #leverage parallels #fudge I need to reaclimate to tumblr fonts and heirarchy #I had no idea where to put the quote #graphic design degree and for what #inde gifs: leverage ot3 #leverage ot3

Typography Tuesday

ERIC VAN BLOKLAND & JUST VAN ROSSUM

This week we present two typefaces by Dutch designers Eric van Blokland (b. 1967) and Just van Rossum (b. 1966), co-founders of the design firm, LettError. Both studied at The Hague Royal Academy (KABK) and were influenced by Dutch typeface designer Gerrit Noordzij. After graduation, they worked in Berlin at Erik Spiekermann's MetaDesign. They founded LettError in 1989.

Both eschew traditional design approaches and rely on computer models and digital expression. As they say, "a font is a software instruction to a printer to perform a task." Together they designed the typeface Beowolf in 1990 and in 2002 van Blokland designed Kosmik, both of which are shown here. For Beowolf, they hacked Adobe's PostScript by adding a new function named "freakto," and the result was Times New Random, later renamed Beowolf, a typeface that changes while it is being printed. No two shapes are identical.

Kosmik is based on the hand-drawn letters van Blokland used in his comic strips. For this typeface, the designer used a new digital invention, the "flipperfont," a tiny program embedded in the font that ensures the printer randomly selects one of three available versions of each character.

These images come from our 2005 book Creative Type: A Sourcebook of Classic and Contemporary Letterforms by Cees W. de Jong, Alston W. Purvis, and Friedrich Friedl, and published by Thames & Hudson.
