ABOUT
THE
TYPE
This book was set in Sabon, a typeface designed by the
well-known
German
typographer Jan Tschichold
(1902-74).
Sabon's
design
is
based upon the original letter forms of Claude Garamond and was
created
specifically to be used for hand composition, Linotype, and
Monotype. Tschichold named his typeface for the famous
Frankfurt
typefounder
Jacques
Sabon, who died in 1580.
