We were neck & neck with a famous NYC firm for a big NYC project. I just learned they won because “they came prepared with work completed for free.”

These are also being sent out as rewards to people who donated – we really appreciate all your support.

My copy of Ute Eskildsen and Gerhard Steidl’s new book (otl aicher / rotis photos timm rautert) just arrived. Timm asked me write an essay about the Rotis typeface in English and German 🙏 My picts don’t do justice to Steidl’s exquisite production values. Just wow!
