RIP Will Powers

I just heard the stunning news of Will Powers untimely passing. Will was the book design/typography guru at the Minnesota Historical Society Press. He was very active in the book design community, as well as the greater design/ad community at large. Will had a passion for good design, and the keen eye of a typographer who was brought up in the age of hot metal type and segued easily into the computer age, retaining the integrity of his work. Will was a friendly, giving, compassionate guy with a great sense of humor, who knew a lot of people in the design world. I'm sure they will all miss him as much as I. He was truly one of the greats.
