Every time I pick up the phone and call home I am filled with dread. Will this be the day I hear someone I love has contracted the disease? To date, thankfully, no one in my family has. But that provides little comfort.

Typefaces are an expression of their time. FF Mark is a new typeface and yet it clearly draws on historical examples from the past. Precisely, the mid-1920s, a period in German history with exceptional innovation in engineering, in the arts and in design. In particular, the years between 1925 and 1930 produced several ideas that were new to the world – among them a new concept in type design: the geometric sans serif.

«За­мечательное искусство книгопечатания было изо­бретено в Майнце. Это искусство искусств, наука наук. Его чрезвычайная продуктивность позволила вызволить из мрака сокровища знаний и мудрости, чтобы обогатить и просветить мир», - писал уже в 1474 г. в своей хронике Вернер Ролевинк. Но сама история изобретения способа печатать текст под­вижными металлическими литерами выяснена еще не до конца. Очевидно одно: современный спо­соб печатания изобретен был не сразу и не одним человеком. Эпоха настоятельно требовала удов­летворения возрастающего спроса на книги, а ксилографическая печать справиться с этой зада­чей не могла. Во многих странах Европы печатники интенсивно искали пути усовершенствований. К этому же их побуждала и взаимная конкуренция.
