Thank you nick. My approach

In reply to The importance of typeface specimens for designers throughout History:

Thank you nick.
My approach is more in terms of understanding the construction (and evolution) of type specimens in different periods, not the types themselves.
The article Specimaniac. In praise of type specimens, old and new, with Veer’s Joe Newton is good, but not to deep...

For example, the actual type specimens:
show off all of the characters in the set, and OT features, the typeface set in a realistic way somewhere so we can see how it will look like when they go to use it in "real world" setting, etc.

Or even the Internet typessetters software as type specimens ...

What different types of type specimens can we see during History...
