AKSARA No.04 — Egmont | Vintage Typography Specimen | Graphic Design Ephemera (c.1940s)

An original vintage typographic specimen leaflet featuring Egmont, the distinctive Dutch typeface designed by S. H. de Roos in the 1930s.

Rather than presenting the alphabet alone, this piece demonstrates the character of Egmont through a collection of printed applications — literary text, music & record listings, advertising copy, display lettering & complete alphabet specimens.

Among the printed examples are Stendhal's Le Rouge et le Noir, long-playing record listings, commercial advertisements & several demonstrations of the Egmont alphabet and numerals.
