farewell to great Penguin paperback designer Germano Facetti

"He used the sans serif typefaces Standard and Helvetica for the author, book title and series name, always in the same size and position above the image, which, on fiction titles, could be a painting, a drawing or a photograph of a piece of sculpture. The typographic style, influenced by fashionable modernist Swiss typography, was both inviting and as clear as a sheet of glass."
