Four matrices on top of the box containing the master casting

Four matrices from D. Stempel AG for Jan Tschichold’s Sabon typeface (the 16-pt size) on top of a wooden box containing the master casting (Probeguß), to be used as a reference for setting the sorts’ widths, each time they are cast. Photographed at the Schriftgießerei Gerstenberg at the Haus für Industriekultur in Darmstadt – an Außenstelle of the Hessisches Landesmusuem.
