Book exploring the Garamond renaissance in the 20th century, culminating in Stempel Sabon, their final major type family for hand setting. Hand set and printed in Sabon 12, 14, 16, 20, 24, 28, 36 and 48 point Didot sizes on French Velin Arches paper in an edition of 110 copies.

The Stempel display type is the ‘true’ form of Sabon designed by Tschichold. It’s very different to machine composition type, and the photo and later digital types based on it.

See Corvus Works for more information about this limited edition.
