<p>A typographic rarity and unexpected find, 18 original and unpublished Gerrit Noordzij printing plates were uncovered a couple of years ago during a letterpress workshop cleanout at the <a href="http://www.kabk.nl/">KABK</a> in The Hague. The result is a beautiful collection of sketches and material, together with five writings about the plates, <a href="http://letterror.com/noordzij/">Gerrit Noordzij</a>, and his contribution to the field of type and typography. The book also contains contributions from former students Albert-Jan Pool, Frank E. Blokland, Aad van Dommelen, Huug Schipper and Petr van Blokland.<br />
<br />
The first copy of the book was presented to Gerrit Noordzij in Amsterdam at ATypI 2013.</p><br/><a href="https://fontsinuse.com/uses/5252/gewone-letters-gerrit-s-early-models"><img src="https://assets.fontsinuse.com/use-media/15775/upto-700xauto/69b3d00e/1/jpeg/FF_Dora_Gewone_Letters_Geen_Bitter_2013_07.jpeg"/></a><br/><br/><i><b>Source:&nbsp;<span class="fiu-attribution__sourceUrl"><a href="http://www.behance.net/gallery/FF-Dora-In-Use-Gewone-letters-Gerrits-early-models/12229159" target="_blank" rel="noopener">www.behance.net</a></span>&nbsp;</b><span><span class="fiu-attribution__credits fiu-text--captioning">© Geen Bitter</span>. </span><span>License: <span class="fiu-attribution__license">All Rights Reserved</span><span>. </span></span></i><br/><a href="https://fontsinuse.com/uses/5252/gewone-letters-gerrit-s-early-models"><img src="https://assets.fontsinuse.com/use-media/15776/upto-700xauto/69b3d00e/1/jpeg/FF_Dora_Gewone_Letters_Geen_Bitter_2013_12.jpeg"/></a><br/><br/><i><b>Source:&nbsp;<span class="fiu-attribution__sourceUrl"><a href="http://www.behance.net/gallery/FF-Dora-In-Use-Gewone-letters-Gerrits-early-models/12229159" target="_blank" rel="noopener">www.behance.net</a></span>&nbsp;</b><span><span class="fiu-attribution__credits fiu-text--captioning">© Geen Bitter</span>. </span><span>License: <span class="fiu-attribution__license">All Rights Reserved</span><span>. </span></span></i><br/><a href="https://fontsinuse.com/uses/5252/gewone-letters-gerrit-s-early-models"><img src="https://assets.fontsinuse.com/use-media/15777/upto-700xauto/69b3d00e/1/jpeg/FF_Dora_Gewone_Letters_Geen_Bitter_2013_21.jpeg"/></a><br/><br/><i><b>Source:&nbsp;<span class="fiu-attribution__sourceUrl"><a href="http://www.behance.net/gallery/FF-Dora-In-Use-Gewone-letters-Gerrits-early-models/12229159" target="_blank" rel="noopener">www.behance.net</a></span>&nbsp;</b><span><span class="fiu-attribution__credits fiu-text--captioning">© Geen Bitter</span>. </span><span>License: <span class="fiu-attribution__license">All Rights Reserved</span><span>. </span></span></i><br/><a href="https://fontsinuse.com/uses/5252/gewone-letters-gerrit-s-early-models"><img src="https://assets.fontsinuse.com/use-media/15778/upto-700xauto/69b3d00e/1/jpeg/FF_Dora_Gewone_Letters_Geen_Bitter_2013_27.jpeg"/></a><br/><br/><i><b>Source:&nbsp;<span class="fiu-attribution__sourceUrl"><a href="http://www.behance.net/gallery/FF-Dora-In-Use-Gewone-letters-Gerrits-early-models/12229159" target="_blank" rel="noopener">www.behance.net</a></span>&nbsp;</b><span><span class="fiu-attribution__credits fiu-text--captioning">© Geen Bitter</span>. </span><span>License: <span class="fiu-attribution__license">All Rights Reserved</span><span>. </span></span></i><br/><a href="https://fontsinuse.com/uses/5252/gewone-letters-gerrit-s-early-models"><img src="https://assets.fontsinuse.com/use-media/15779/upto-700xauto/69b3d00e/1/jpeg/FF_Dora_Gewone_Letters_Geen_Bitter_2013_Cover.jpeg"/></a><br/><br/><i><b>Source:&nbsp;<span class="fiu-attribution__sourceUrl"><a href="http://www.behance.net/gallery/FF-Dora-In-Use-Gewone-letters-Gerrits-early-models/12229159" target="_blank" rel="noopener">www.behance.net</a></span>&nbsp;</b><span><span class="fiu-attribution__credits fiu-text--captioning">© Geen Bitter</span>. </span><span>License: <span class="fiu-attribution__license">All Rights Reserved</span><span>. </span></span></i><br/><br/>This post was originally published at <a href="https://fontsinuse.com/uses/5252/gewone-letters-gerrit-s-early-models">Fonts In Use</a><hr/>]]></description>
