Digital type foundry specimens, 1993–2000
Some stuff from my collection. I don’t have a lot of metal type specimens — I visit Letterform Archive for those — but the ’90s are covered!
Before the internet, printing and mailing specimens was a key part of foundry promotion. Today, there are very few who still do paper things. Most of those few who do, do it well (FontFont, Typonine, Typotheque, Commercial Type, Production Type, Storm Type, Briefcase).
