Fairfield
Rudolf Ruzicka's 1939 book typeface. Linotype's digital version, Fairfield LT Std, is just awful, according to Dean Allen [Textism]: One day someone will do a version of Fairfield that honours Rudolf Ruzicka's Linotype masterpiece, one of the best book typefaces ever realized. This isn't it. I've experimented with fattening up the wispy strokes of the digital version, but still can't make it sing on the page. There is a free version, Fanwood (2011, Barry Schwartz) and a commercial competitor, Transitional 555 (Bitstream). |
