Lettres

Lettres by Jean Loisy, published in 1948 by Arts et Métiers Graphiques in France, and kindly provided by Michael Newhouse on Flickr. I love this cover design at top, but am seriously angsting over the lack of kerning in between that last pair of lettres. Many more interior pages filled with inspirational hand-lettering examples from 60+ years ago can be seen on his Flickr site.
