"Hungry Dutch is the documentation of the adventure that was Russell Maret's goal of creating a new typeface for Monotype composition casting. What started off as a complicated process eventually blossomed into a four-year endeavor to design a new typeface that would be available for composition typography. This communal endeavor involved many high-profile collaborators in world of typography such as Phil Abel, Nick Gill, Duncan Avery, Graham Sheppard, Parminder Kumar Rajput, Doug Ellis, and Thomas Mayo"--Oak Knoll Books website.
