Herb Lubalin (1918–1981) was one of the most prolific 🇺🇸 American designers of the 20th century and many of his typefaces and logos are still widely in use today. After his death, he donated his vast collection of works of post-war graphic design to the Cooper Union in NY who transformed it into a generous and productive archive, the Lubalin Study Center. At this center you'll find, amongst many other things, huge file cabinets, and they let you open the Sandberg drawer, which is right on top of the Vignelli drawer, etc. Unfortunately we cannot go to NY right now, but we can browse their Flickr (yes!) albums of type specimens and other gems. Bravo!
