It’s one thing to create a beautiful typeface, but it takes a separate skillset to set them just so perfectly, right? Which typefaces come with an exquisite specimen document that you really liked?

Wow, @Bhikkhu Pesala, excellent share! It was more like a design book, than just a specimen! Thanks for sharing!
