Description: "Hungry Dutch is the documentation of the adventure that was Russell Maret's goal of creating a new typeface for Monotype composition casting. What started off as a complicated process eventually blossomed into a four-year endeavor to design a new typeface that would be available for composition typography. This communal endeavor involved many high-profile collaborators in world of typography such as Phil Abel, Nick Gill, Duncan Avery, Graham Sheppard, Parminder Kumar Rajput, Doug Ellis, and Thomas Mayo"--Oak Knoll Books website.
Notes: "It is set in Monotype Series 923... The type was cast in composition by Ed Rayher at Swamp Press ... The italic in the body text is Stemple-Kis Janson, cast by Rainer Gerstenberg. The notes are set in Peter Sans, designed by Russell Maret, and are printed from photo-polymer plates. The text was edited by Susan Schlechter. One hundred eight copies were printed: eighty-three on J. Barcham Green's Hayle paper, handmade in 1976; twenty, for collaborators and contributors, on Zerkall paper; and five, for private distribution, on newsprint. The cover paper was handmade at Papeterie St. Armand. The binding is by Amy Borezo" -- Colophon.
