For this post, I had to leave my comfort zone and dive into Basel’s typographic history. It’s the history before the history most of us are familiar with!

Here’s my translation of Friedrich Bauer’s chronicle of Basel typefounding history up until about 1927, with loads of commentary, some images, and lots of links to more information.

I hope you enjoy it! https://www.typeoff.de/2023/10/the-haas-type-foundry-up-until-about-1927/
