Sketches on/of type

Specimens are boring! Creative minds don’t want to just look at pretty pictures, they want to draw their own stuff in the first place. So we talked to our friend, famous Czech book designer Martin Pecina (aka Typolenin) and he came up with a dos-à-dos sketchbook/primer with ten short texts on typographic refinements everyone should know about (small caps, case-sensitive punctuation, figures, ligatures, kerning, optical sizes, stylistic sets, swashes, contextal alternates, non-Latin scripts). Simple coloured glue binding, emboss, and pink colour. Martin’s sketches on type, your sketches of type.

The book commemorates the printers, their books, and their printing types from the first book printed in Venice to the present day. For technical and political reasons, all Armenian books were printed outside Armenia until 1771. The book was written by John A. Lane, a well-known historian of printing types, and contains a wealth of excellent illustrations. It accompanied the exhibition “The diaspora of the Armenian Book 1512-2012”, held at the Special Collections Library of the University of Amsterdam and at the National Library of Armenia in Yerevan.

Yerevan magazine

Yerevan magazine is an Armenian periodical published in English and Russian since 2005, and in Armenian since summer 2011 (now terminated). Art-directors: Gegham Vardanyan, Arsen Kirakosyan. Arek features in the magazine headlines and text. Notably, both variants, the upright as well as the cursive Armenian, are used. It is particularly interesting to see how the designers made use of this unprecedented apparatus in Armenian typography.

CAS Linguistics edition

An established series of books on Linguistics by the etymological department of The Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic were redesigned by Vít Boček and David Březina in 2010. Notably, an extended custom version of Skolar was developed in six weights in order to typeset the books efficiently.

The generous layouts count on the complexity of academic texts, great amount of footnotes, and readers who have the urge to make notes while reading. The cover plays with the idea of boustrophedon writing as a reference to antiquity, the age in which everything had been said already!
