International Office

A type specimen for Klim foundry, printed on newsprint as an alternative to previous Klim specimens, which are usually found in smaller booklets. I admire the simplicity of the design work, and the inevitable cost-effectiveness that results from this. Mainly however I looked at this for inspiration for my own type specimen-type-thing. It is interesting to learnt that these specimens don't necessarily need to be confined to small booklets. They have also taken inspiration from 'A Search For Tradition' - a talk by Douglas Lilburn in 1946 - in order to give some relevant content to the publication.

Hague and Gill


Just fancied uploading this as I live just round the corner......pretty interesting how my town used to be kind of 'on the map' as such in the design industry....particularly with furniture design and manufacturing, and I suppose printing as well, as I have recently found out.
