Retrofonts

Gregor Stawinski has compiled over 400 characteristic fonts for you from the Wilhelminian age to the end of the 20th century and presents them in the style of old type specimen books in lists of figures opposite typical uses from a historical or retro context. In this way, he sensitizes us to both the design vocabulary of the individual characters and the typographical compositions of the times. Typography encodes the zeitgeist; it’s no wonder they are called “characters.” To help you launch your time travel right away, he has packed a CD with 222 free fonts into the book. Have fun with “types of the times!”
