“This spe­cial issue of Common-​​place explores food. It par­tic­u­larly inves­ti­gates the pro­duc­tion and con­sump­tion of food dur­ing the age of exper­i­ment, that period between 1820 and 1890 in the United States after the soil cri­sis of the early nine­teenth cen­tury dis­rupted cus­tom­ary agri­cul­ture and before sci­en­tific agri­cul­ture became insti­tu­tion­al­ized nation­ally in the sys­tem of exper­i­men­tal sta­tions leg­is­lated into being by the Hatch Act (1887).”

“While Adelle is a slab serif type­face con­ceived specif­i­cally for inten­sive edi­to­r­ial use, mainly in news­pa­pers and mag­a­zines, its per­son­al­ity and flex­i­bil­ity make it a real multiple-​​purpose type­face.
The inter­me­di­ate weights deliver a very leg­i­ble and neu­tral look when used in text sizes, pro­vid­ing the usual robust­ness expected in a news­pa­per font. The unob­stru­sive appear­ance, excel­lent tex­ture and slightly dark color allow it to behave flaw­lessly in con­tin­u­ous text set­ting, even in the most demand­ing edi­to­r­ial applications.…”

“Nov­el­Sans Pro is new human­ist grotesque type­face fam­ily match­ing the award win­ning serif type­face Novel Pro.
Nov­el­Sans’ care­fully attuned char­ac­ter design, well bal­anced weight con­trast and the clas­sic pro­por­tions show many sim­i­lar­i­ties with the serif ver­sion and enable design­ers to com­bine those two fam­i­lies and reach high­est qual­ity in typography.…”
