The 100 best typefaces

Jürgen Siebert’s Fontblog shows the countdown for the 100 best typefaces of all time. The criteria are discussed there – if you read German, that is. I can proudly announce that my ITC Officina came in at number 8, ahead of Gill and Univers, no less. There’s a new announcement every day, so in a week’s time we’ll know all the winners. The picture shows me in 1989, holding the first print of what was still called ITC Correspondence.

    i remember you (Erik) talking about how Frutiger was a hero, must have been amazing to come ahead of him on a best font lists?

    i dont know what to like the best – the typeface of the bow tie :)
