Lou Dorfsman and the CBS Wall

This is one of the most amazing pieces of typography, ever. He worked with close friend Herb Lubalin on the type, which was all hand-cut from wood. The Center for Design Study is currently restoring the wall as it was sitting in a basement for years after CBS just tore it down in the 80s or 90s.
