CLEVE

VON

Marie Madeleine Gräfin
von Lafayette

Three versions of an imaginary title page, from
pp.82-7 of The Form of the Book, translated
from Tschichold's German by Hajo Hadeler,
Hartley & Marks/Lund Humphries, 1991.

The captions:

'Figure 14. An imaginary title page, well set, but
it lacks originality.

Figure 15. The same title page, using unspaced
lowercase letters in the major line. Much better
than figure 14.

Figure 16. Finally, this kind of typography
captures the spirit of the time. But it isn't as
simple as It looks.'
