The translation is clumsy and I’m sure awful but perhaps useful nonetheless.</p> <blockquote> <p>Smooth, restrained power, pure expressive beauty - that a new section of the Futura has them, a noble, high-bred race, that goes without saying, and the typography is not expected anything else. But are experienced experts believe that with the recent addition of the large circle of the Futura font something really succeeded surprising. One says that deserve a special award because it is nothing more and nothing less than.</p> <p><em>Geschmeidige, verhaltene Kraft, reine ausdrucksvolle Schönheit — daß ein neuer Schnitt der Futura diese Eigenschaften einer edlen, hochgezüchteten Rasse besitzt, das versteht sich von selbst, und der Buchdrucker erwartet es nicht anders. Doch sind erfahrene Fachleute der Meinung, daß mit der jüngsten Ergänzung des großen Kreises der Futura-Schriften etwas wirklich Überraschendes gelang. Man sagt, die verdiene eine ganz besondere Auszeichnung, denn sie sei nichts mehr und nichts weniger als.</em></p> </blockquote>http://kleinmatic.tumblr.com/post/49689186108http://kleinmatic.tumblr.com/post/49689186108Sun, 05 May 2013 11:02:00 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/d8a0a74e374149ce720c63359da49997/tumblr_mm8bm0wFua1qz5r29o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://blog.hemmings.com/index.php/2013/05/03/hemmings-find-of-the-day-1954-hudson-italia/">1954 Hudson Hornet Italia</a>. </p>http://kleinmatic.tumblr.com/post/49516797426http://kleinmatic.tumblr.com/post/49516797426Fri, 03 May 2013 11:42:00 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/0898f779275ff993ef645359e96ba2bf/tumblr_mlugd2IaVz1qz5r29o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><span>Via Shorpy.
