This collectors piece is a very useful tool to see Sirba perform on many different papers, uncoated, coated, white and off-white and type sizes. The stylish type-specimen shows the full character set, Opentype features and some examples of use. A great quality of Sirba is that the typeface remains very legible and readable on the different kinds of paper even in very small sizes such as 5 pt.

This booklet was designed and produced by Nicolien Van der Keur, original designer of Sirba. The 24-page specimen has been partially printed in letterpress and has an embossed cover. There are only 525 copies of this collector's item.
