Jim Rimmer, the great Canadian typographer and metal-crafting aficionado, passed away on January 8 at the age of 76. I posted a short memorial on the blog of the magazine I work for, which links to a wonderful tribute by Richard Kegler of P22 along with several other Rimmer-related links, including a fascinating in-depth look at his studio through the Type Club of Toronto.

This is very sad indeed. I’ve long admired Jim’s work, and his presence will be missed. Thanks for sharing the links to other tributes (pulled out below): * Richard Kegler’s tribute: FontFeed, P22 |
