While working with both Dark Blue and Yellow Ochre Winsor & Newton Calligraphy Inks, Carol DuBosch came across something special. She found that by dipping in one ink, then water, then the other ink, she could write in a wonderful mix of different colors. Depending on the particular mix of Blue and Yellow inks and the water, the colors were far from what you would expect -- it was ink magic! Carol was kind enough to share her discovery in
Bound & Lettered
issue 14.4.

This comprehensive biography of Hermann Zapf traces the artist's life from his youth in Nuremberg to his retirement in Darmstadt. It explores his modern design aesthetic and engagement with the staggering technological advances of typography during the twentieth century. Featuring rarities and never-before-seen works and photos, it also includes definitive lists of Zapf's type designs and major calligraphic works. However, the volume is more than an in-depth appreciation of Zapf's work; it is about his work in relation to his life.
