“This specimen booklet is a meticulously designed manual for understanding the characteristics of Norm’s latest typeface LL Replica. The specimen documents several stages in the design process, from the first design decision to enlarge the fontlab grid up to the final fine-tuning of the fonts. In the manual, designers Dimitri Bruni and Manuel Krebs discuss the development of Replica and the various problems encountered during the lengthy process, using their very conversation as a continuous sample text for the specimen booklet. Set in all seven weights of LL Replica and in eight different type sizes, the booklet is an impressive document of Norm’s skills as both type designers and typographers, while LL Replica performs beautifully in headlines, as body copy or even when set in tables.” When you hear the words: Lineto and Norm in the same sentence you know it’s going to be something good. Nonetheless, if you have a fetish for type specimens, I suggest you purchase this bad-boy now before they all sell out."
