Additional information //
I carry the idea of repetition into the wrap around posters for this book, as i started to explore it within the book. This double-sided poster is initially wrapped around the type specimen book. Once unfolded it functions as a poster. One side speaks about the large counter spaces of the typeface while the other states that his typeface works best as a display face; although you can see it go down to 10 pt. inside the book.
The posters also shows how the ornaments can be used in a sea of mathematics.
See the Poster that comes along with this book as a wrap around.
