Reclaiming Peruvian Typography: A decolonial read on design history

You won’t find the history of Peruvian typography in any design history book, because it hasn’t been written yet. In 2021, I taught a class titled “On Typography and Language in Peru,” as part of the Incomplete Latinx Stories of Diseño Gráfico organized by the BIPOC Design History group. This was the first-ever overview of… Continue reading Reclaiming Peruvian Typography: A decolonial read on design history

Yeah, type design is cool, but have you tried to be a feminist?

Fer Cozzi

Can typography be feminist? Who do we design for? How do we speak? What form of representation do we choose? What messages and images do we generate? What discourses do we validate?

Learning From the Streets: Lessons from the postmodern Mexican blackletter hand

After centuries of tradition, practice, and manuscript production (and admiration!), one can ponder where they are in terms of location and, of course, style. Blackletter is one of the most recognisable hands, gaining a strong presence in the collective imagination since the late middle ages, and… Continue reading Learning From the Streets: Lessons from the postmodern Mexican blackletter hand

The Heritage of Oldřich Menhart
