In case you were looking, here’s a little Bruce Rogers number with an essay by Stanley Morison (who initialed it) and a bibliography by Philip Hofer. In between is the work of Luca de Pacioli, who you know as the first person to publish a work on the double-entry system of bookkeeping, a precursor to QuickBooks. He also prepared this treatise on geometry and beauty and their application to roman letters. It predates similar explorations by Albrecht Dürer and Geoffrey Tory and later explorations by David Lance Goines. The title page is a total stunner, or “sheer inspired glory” (so sayeth Joe Blumenthal). From the collection of Inge Druckrey.

It’s 1969. Twenty-eight-year-old Wolfgang Weingart is in his second year as a teacher of typography at the Basel School of Design. He’s making prints and posters and photographs. He’s got an exhibition of his work and we’ve got a selection of prints and posters he made for that exhibition. These are strikingly badass sheets of paper from the collection of Inge Druckrey that’re scarce and rare.

New Show!
Greetings from Uli Huber
.
There’s no reason you should know who Uli Huber is–or was. He’s dead. He was born on August 3, 1902, making him a Leo (if you care about such things) and he died in 1981. Before that, he was a student of F. H. Ernst Schneidler, one of the twentieth century’s great teachers of lettering and typography, and he spent his entire career as a graphic designer in Germany, working on posters, packaging, advertisements, logos, and one published postage stamp. He was also a prolific designer and maker of handmade cards for friends and family, and printed greetings sent to clients. In this more personal work we can see he had tremendous skills as a letterer, calligrapher, and illustrator. You’ll find no loyalty to a personal style in the work shown in our current exhibition. Uli Huber seemed loyal only to doing things well.
.
“Greetings from Uli Huber,” the first exhibition of Huber’s work in North America (and maybe the world), features over fifty handmade and printed cards, sketches, postage stamps, and original production artwork.

Remember: The entire staff of Katherine Small Gallery invites you to celebrate our newly published book by @ @gavinkmorrison and @ @scott__myles. They’ve been traveling the world to rub elbows with the gravestones of type designers and we’ve made a small book about all that rubbing. Come help us introduce this book to Greater Boston and the greater world as Gavin will be flying in from Scotland for a book launch party without further formalities and a wake to observe this final issue of our supposed-to-be-quarterly Design Brief.
