New to Typophile? Accounts are free, and easy to set up.
I'm helping a classmate look for any info. leading to samples of Jan Tschichold's Saskia typeface. To our knowledge, it hasn't been digitized, but it's also difficult to find any printed samples or images online. Any help would be appreciated.
These are images from Andrea Vesalius' De Humani Corporis Fabrica, printed in 1543 in the workshop of Johannes Oporini.
If anyone knows who cut the type and/or whether there's a good digital typeface based on it, that would be great! Otherwise, suggestions of the most similar typefaces you can think of are very welcome.



Thanks!
I am looking to make a list of typefaces that would've been in vogue (or that represent the 'in vogue' style) in the USA in the 1840's - 1860's or so.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!
