Timberwolf Type was for years the brand of Swedish type designer Lars Bergquist (1936–2020), renowned for his fine text faces, prolific output, and expert attention to historical detail. As distributors of some of his work—and fans generally—we’re pleased to revive the Timberwolf Type brand here as a sort of master list of all Lars’s designs, with links to specimens and places where you may purchase licenses. —B.W., Three Islands Press
