A NOTE ON THE TYPE

The text of this book was set in a typeface called Aldus, designed by the celebrated typographer Hermann Zapf in 1952-53. Based on the classical proportion of the popular Palatino type family, Aldus was originally adapted for Linotype composition as a slightly lighter version that would read better in smaller sizes. Hermann Zapf was born in Nuremberg, Germany, in 1918. He has created many other well known typefaces including Comenius, © Hunt Roman, Marconi, Melior, Michelangelo, Optima, Saphir, Sis- ® tina, Zapf Book and Zapf Chancery.
