"This portfolio was conceived and proposed by Peter Rutledge Koch ... The thirteen sheets and cover were designed and set in type by Robert Bringhurst. For the most part, the 22 typefaces used or show are identified in situ. The text face in sheets 1 & 13 is Garamond Premier, designed by Robert Slimbach. The faces displayed on the front cover are Sumner Stone's Arepo Inline and Robert Slimbach's Brioso. The paper is Cougar Opaque ... The edition of one thousand copies was printed in Berkeley in September 2015 by Peter Koch Printers using a Heidelberg cylinder press, vintage 1965, from photopolymer plates prepared for the press by Jonathan Gerken"--Colophon.
