Bram de Does

After Jan van Krimpen died − De Does' predecessor at Enschedé − the production of quality books stopped being a top priority at Enschedé, and De Does decided to leave, to work for the Querido publishing house.

Around 1970, Enschedé developed a renewed interest in publishing, and Bram de Does could design several beautiful books.

In 1978 Enschedé replaced their phototypesetting machines, for which they wanted to adapt Jan van Krimpen's typeface Romanée.

The company consulted with De Does, who was against it, fearing the typeface would lose its character in the translation from metal movable type to phototype.

Ten years after Trinité, De Does designed his second serif typeface, Lexicon, for the Van Dale dictionary.
