Specimen Book

A specimen book is a sample collection published by a type foundry or font designer that showcases different typefaces, styles, and sizes available for use. It serves as a catalog to help designers and printers select the appropriate fonts for their projects. The book typically includes examples of each typeface in various weights and formats, along with details about their design features. Essentially, it’s a visual reference guide that helps users compare and choose fonts to ensure the right style and feel for their creative work.
