Tipografsko porodicno stablo

Novi članak Stivena Helera na blogu Print magazina predstavlja plakat koji je slovolivnica Bauer napravila 1937, proslavljajući stogodišnjicu firme. Koren svih tipografskih pisama i razgranavanje do '37. Kao što kaže Heler na kraju članka, kako li bi ovo drvo izgledalo danas?

Andreas kaže:

This poster is a typographic project made out of Bodoni letters being inspired by the female sensitivity. Bodoni is a series of serif typefaces first designed by Giambattista Bodoni (1740–1813) in 1798. Like every typeface, Bodoni has its own charisma. Its presence in design always reflected the good taste, the classic, the elegant, the different. Bodoni has narrower underlying structure with flat and unbracketed serifs, extreme contrast between thick & thin strokes and an overall geometric construction.
The reason i decided to use silkscreen as a method was to add a little spark using gold colours and gold foils to reflect the ultimate woman nobility. 

æ - Honoring The Forgotten Women of Type History

I have always wondered about the stories behind fonts with women's names. I studied the three typefaces: Mrs Eaves, Caecilia and Joanna. I decided to honor these three forgotten women in the history of typography through this project.

I chose the symmetrical ligature ae to reflect the intimate relation between the type designers and the special women after whom they named their typefaces. From there, I developed a set of three necklaces.

I designed the packaging of the necklaces as business cards considering the different identities these women represented. Joanna was Eric Gill's daughter, Mrs Eaves was Baskerville's housekeeper and mistress, and Caecilia was Peter Matthias Noordzij's wife.

What a delightful representation of the women in these typographers' lives.
