This “talk” was originally published on www.servinglibrary.org and in Bulletins of The Serving Library 11. It was rewritten from notes of a seminar on typography held in the library at the Museum Sztuki in Lodz, Poland, on the occasion of The Themersons and the Avant-Garde (February 22 – May 5, 2013).
