The
Klingspor Museum in Offenbach am Main, Germany, was established
in 1953. It was named after Dr Karl Klingpor (1868-1950),
who, with his brother, Wilhelm, ran the Gebr. Klingspor
type foundry. Dr Klingspor's private collection of books
and material on typography, calligraphy and the art of the
book forms the nucleus of the museum's exhibits. The Klingspor's
Web site contains a list of over 2,100 type designers together
with biographical information and examples of their work
in PDF form. Text in German. Translates well using the Google
