Dear Mr. Blier,
In answer to your
letter which came (as the saying is better late than never) I have to state
that only the Intertype faces for hot metal are true to my original designs,
intended for letter sizes between 8 and 12 points of shaded or serifed
nature. Larger sizes need corrective
changes in order not to look blow ups of small letters. This applies specifically to shaded or
serifed letter forms. These adjustments I made. …
Complete letter to Mr. Soifer Oct. 3, 1972
Dear Mr. Soifer,
As loyal followers of
Dr. Leslie’s lectures we have been aware of your coming and I am sure that
your lecture will be of special interest to a good number of the group that
usually attends.
I am very glad to provide you with some data of David Hebrew, if this
will be of help to you. The design of
it goes back to about 1937, it represented a family of nine. Three basic variations, standard, oblique
and sans serif, each design in three weights, light, medium and bold. They all fitted together in style as well
as in measurement, any two of these nine variations could be paired on
Intertype matrices. From the start I
had planned these alphabets for slug composition. Monotype equipment, at that time, was not
in operation in Palestine and it seemed unlikely that it would be introduced
in the foreseeable future. My dream
was to enable every printer in the country to produce well planned and well
organized printing for books and commerce, aesthetically comparable to
printing with Roman type.
In 1939, while in New
York, I began negotiating with the Interype Corporation, but the war
postponed any decision. In 1950, I
finally concluded an agreement with Intertype. This included the standard and the oblique
versions, each in three weights, I then redesigned these six variations and
provided the final work drawings, which were finished in 1952.
My dream of the large
family, including a sans serif never materialized, only in an essay about
Hebrew typefaces by Dr. Spitzer, for the Schoken-Festschrift is the full
scheme shown.
Around 1954, the
first sets in 12 pt. were issued and since then, many sizes have been added.
In later years, I designed some display faces for photo-composition. The titles and chapter openings in the Berman Siddur show one of these. xטיפוגרפיה עברית: נרקיס, נרקיסים, וכל השאר, מאת צבי נרקיס Love Girlsprancingnaked Results Healthexpensive Horny Girls Real Girls Prancing Naked Horny Girls Real Girls Xxx Girls Webcam Sex Cam Girl Pregnant Sex Naked Porn Teens Sex Live Webcam Women Girls Webcam Sexy Naked Ladies Cam Chat Live Girls Cam Chatg c Girls Webcam sטיפוגרפיה עברית: נרקיס, נרקיסים, וכל השאר, מאת צבי נרקיס Love Girlsprancingnaked Results Healthexpensive Horny Girls Real Girls Prancing Naked Horny Girls Real Girls Xxx Girls Webcam Sex Cam Girl Pregnant Sex Naked Porn Teens Sex Live Webcam Women Girls Webcam Sexy Naked Ladies Cam Chat Live Girls Cam Chatb Girls
