Books
A life's work
The meaning and a human perception may be changed by the typography. This project allows you to play with cards and letters that are made in 7 different techniques and to place them in the way to create interesting variations and appearance.
This project gave me the membership in International Society of Typographic Designers (ISTD)
Some facts about the project
  • Human after all
    Frutiger was a type designer, they all think straight forward, usually. However, Frutiger was very lyrical & I decided to use his quotes in a book.
  • Interviews
    I gathered interviews from very different people including Katherine McCoy, Phil Baines and Ilya Ruderman together with contemporary designers who are working with and creating typefaces.
  • Dialog
    If I am talking about humanity — let's have a chat: not just solid facts, but attitude. Frutiger as well as interviewees are answering my questions. Adrian did it in his own typefaces.
  • Interactive section
    At the end of the book there are pages with tracing paper, 2 letters of different typefaces and specimen. A reader can open the window to a world of a type designer, outlining the letters, comparing different letterforms.
  • Hand bound
    The last mixture print office canceled my order, so I had to bind the book by myself.
New Year present
I also designed and produced set of tiny planners, iPhone size, with perforation and dates. Hard cover, black & white with strengthened binding.
