Type specimen No 1

Specimen No 1 was our first comprehensive type specimen. To celebrate this occassion, we asked 14 friends to design specimen spreads for one of our type families to act as devider pages between the general type showings, style and character overviews. Also includes samples of custom typefaces and a preview of (then) upcoming work. Many thanks to our contributors Koen Geurts, René Knip, Max Kisman, Donald Beekman, Tobias Peier, Indra Kupferschmid, R2, Liza Enebeis & Marc van der Heijde, Léon & Loes, Dennis Koot, Bart de Haas, Jesse Skolnik, and Stefanie Bitzigeio.
