Schrift. Wahl und Mischung (“Type: selection and pairing”) is an extensive guide into the subject of choosing and combining typefaces. Written, designed and typeset by Kai Büschl and Oliver Linke – both typedesigners, typographers and lecturers – it details the historic, technical, and aesthetic background of todays typographic practice comprehensively. The book was published in 2021 by Rheinwerk Verlag and serves as a reference for both students and professionals alike.

Both content and figures use a range of typefaces, some of which are designed by the authors, and all available from their Lazydogs foundry: LD Moderne Slab and LD Grotesk are used on the book cover. The interior adds LD Moderne Antiqua, LD Elsnac, LD Fabiol and LD Vela to the mix.

Gathering our thoughts about corporate fonts, we (Lazydogs Typefoundry) issued this little 16 pager. So if you want to know more about this, you’ll love it. The booklet titled Type is no longer cast metal uses LD Moderne Slab as main text face. The sans serif on the cover is LD Grotesk Condensed typeface by Lazydogs.
