Klingspor Library | 2

I am trying to find time for my blog, but that often doesn't work.. Actually there is a lot to write about, tons of pictures, and at least some ideas in my head ;)
For now it will be something which is currently in my mind. Last tuesday we went to make additional research at Klingspor Library. We were 5 people and 1 scanner going to the 24-hour trip Den Haag - Offenbach. Lucas, one of the recent t]m students, kindly let us stay for a night in his apartment in Frankfurt. T]m schedule is now getting extremely busy, so that any trip means skipping lessons, but this trip was worth it. Being there you can never say that you are done, it is never enough, even if it is a whole day, as we had this time. It is a perfect place for getting inspiration.

Here are some pictures that I selected for an overview of what I was interested in this time. Nobel, Futura, Berthold Grotesk, Akzidenz Grotesk, Royal Grotesk, and of course I can't pass
by my lovely Caslon.
