Jack Stauffacher was an American printer, typographer, publisher, and educator who possessed a love for type and print. This commemorative stamp panel pays tribute to a man I never met, yet has changed the way I see type with his fearless experimentation that brought an emotive quality to letterforms and how they interact.
