Sabon was designed by Jan Tschichold in 1967 and is a French Renaissance Antiqua. Sabon can be seen as a variation of the Garamond typefaces, with an emphasis on a clearer typeface and thus better readability.

Dream A Little Dream
22pt/26pt
If you can dream it, you can do it. - Walt Disney Charles really hadn’t made it hard for me to find his dream door: it had a life-size photograph of Charles himself printed on it. The photo showed him wearing a broad grin and a pristine white coat, with the words Charles Spencer, DDS on its breast pocket.

However, I wasn’t expecting the photo to burst into song when I touched the doorknob. "Working hard to keep teeth clean!" it warbled with great ardor in a fine tenor voice, to the tune of ”Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star.” Startled, I looked around the corridor. Good heavens, couldn’t it turn the volume down? I already felt I was under observation, although there was no one in sight except for me and the photo of Charles, only doors stretching down the corridor as far as the eye could see. My own door was just around the next corner, and in fact, there was nothing I’d rather have done than run back there and call off this whole operation. My guilty conscience was almost killing me. This was kind of like reading someone’s secret diary, only much worse. And I’d had to commit theft to embark on it, although opinions might vary on whether or not that was as immoral as it sounded. Legally speaking, yes, it was theft, but the kind of fur-lined trapper’s cap with earflaps that I’d taken from Charles suited very few people indeed. Most anybody wearing one would look like an underexposed photo of a sheep, and Charles was no exception, so in that light, I’d even done him a favor. I only hoped no one would come into my room and see me lying in bed with that silly cap on. Because that was what I was really doing: lying in bed asleep. With a stolen trapper’s cap on my head. But I wasn’t dreaming anything nice; I was spying on someone. Someone who might well be in the process of breaking Lottie’s heart, and Lottie was the best creator of crazy hairstyles, baker of cookies, dog whisperer, and comforter of susceptible teenage girls in the world. And as no one had a softer heart than Lottie (who officially was our au pair, by the way), that absolutely mustn’t happen. So in this case, hopefully, the end justified the means. Didn’t it? I sighed. Why did everything always have to be so complicated? Excerpt from the book „Dream on“ from the Silver Trilogy by Kerstin Gier
