Skin & Bones Details

Skin & Bones was originally designed by Douglas F. Jones for the Visual Graphics Corporation, which made the Photo Typositor, a headline-setting machine. Jones was inspired by Herbert Bayer’s geometric alphabets as part of the Bauhaus movement and thought that an inline treatment would be visually appealing. In 2017, Doug gave Mark Simonson permission to create an official version of Skin & Bones, resulting in a faithful digitization of Doug’s 1972 design but with a larger character set.
