March I - May 21
The Art of the Type Specimen
in the 20th Century
The Art of the Type Specimen in the
20th Century is a collection of type specimens
produced by leading and lesser-known
type foundries in Europe and North America, including the
Caslon Foundry, American Type Founders, Klingspor, Deberny
& Peignot, Mergenthaler Linotype, ITC, Adobe and The Village
Letter Foundery.
For over 500 years, type specimens have been used to advertise
and promote typefaces. With the technological advances of
the twentieth century, competition among type manufacturers
grew and so did the importance of the type specimen.
Throughout this century, world-renowned designers had been
commissioned to design and typographically portray the type
specimens. Some type manufacturers established in-house
printing offices while others hired only the most careful printers
to produce the specimens.
The specimens in this exhibition have been chosen by curator
Jerry Kelly of The Stinehour Press to represent the finest material
of the century.
An illustrated, limited-edition book will accompany this exhibition.
The book includes an introduction by Kelly and an essay
by David Pankow, curator of The Cary Collection, a library of
books on printing and the graphic arts at the Rochester Institute
of Technology.

Postscript isn't one of
our foreign languages
Although we translate and typeset into most of the world's
tongues, PostScript isn't the least bit foreign to us.
When you need to produce foreign language versions of
material you've created in English on the Mac, our
PostScript Partnership' services save you time, money, and
aggravation because they're uniquely coordinated
to your PostScript operations.
Spectrum can provide quality translations as files designed to
be imported directly into your page make-up program
(in some cases, we can even include hidden coding that allows
your program to hyphenate the language correctly).
If you prefer, we'll do a complete "turnkey" conversion
of your English page files, returning the job with all the text
changed to the foreign languages you require.
Our new brochure explains it all. Fax, phone, or
write for a free copy.
