with a foreword by Paula Scher and a preface by Erik Spiekermann
There are designers who identify the culture of the period and adapt it to their own personal vision. They are the ones who transcend time but remain of the moment. There is no better example of this than Jennifer Morla.

It is with great sadness we announce that Freda Sack, Honorary Fellow and Past President of the ISTD passed away peacefully in the early hours of Wednesday 13 February. Freda was a pivotal figure in the Society and her contribution to the typographic industry worldwide has been immense. She will be sorely missed by all of her typographic family and friends.
