(Introduction) 'Through the years this typographical family goes from strength to strength, defying all fashions and vogues. Ignoring all the dictates of the typographical pundits. The popularity of the Spartan range is undoubtedly due to its extreme suitability for so much jobbing work, and to its wide flexibility, ranging from this unusual upper- case but legible setting in spartan to the display variants shown in this booklet.'
