Presented to Gas & Electric
The Baltimore Sunpapers was at one time considered a cornerstone of journalism and reporting, much like a lot of major city papers. The paper was a source of information and commerce and along with the news and editorials they generated revenue through advertisements.
Design of each paper drew people in and the art of layout was a thing that captivated the eye of the reader. So it would make sense to help institutions and major advertisers would have a source book of available Sunpaper fonts and layouts.
