Hi all! This publication, edited by Juliette Flecheux and published by Editions 205, is bilingual — FR & EN. I wrote a pre-chapter: Can the development of Dutch type design education in The Netherlands, esp. at KABK in The Hague, be compared to the French pioneer Scriptorium?
Dossier: DOSSIERS
L’ouvrage “Dossier Scriptorium” de Juliette Flecheux s’inscrit dans la tradition des Dossiers publiés par les rencontres de Lure et l’éditeur Magermans. Un format réactivé par @MazeCharles et Coline Sunier pour le Dossier Fernand Baudin (2012)

Sending my Dutch Type reprint to North America has become very expensive. Fortunately, Oak Knoll Books has a supply, now selling it at a very reasonable price. Today and tomorrow! oakknoll.com/pages/books/135…

The Eye blog starts the new year with my piece about Berlin studio Cyan (or, officially, "cyan”) – and their 2020. Have a look at their impressive posters, and READ IT if you’re in the mood. Best wishes for the coming 365 days!

Ten years ago today, Dutch lettering artist and designer Boudewijn Ietswaart passed away. His daughter Anna and I have chosen this day to present the Ietswaart Project – a book featuring his amazing cover designs and sketches. Read more, sign up: drukeditions.com/ietswaart-p…

A reminder: News from my alter ego, caretaker and librarian of the temporary foundry Fust & Friends.
Bad news, good news! Fust&Friends will leave the platform. Read why! We also want to share our entire collection at a ridiculous price, to make our typefaces accessible for those who like the fonts, but had no client to finance them — we can help. fustandfriends.com/type-libr…

My latest contributions to Fonts in Use. It’s all (forgotten?) music & design from the early 1970s!

Been available at the new price (making the book much more accessible) for a month now. Many people who couldn’t afford the reprint at its original price (which was the same as the 2004 first printing) have now ordered it — at Typotheque, Slanted (Germany), or any Dutch bookshop.

Now online in English: my text for a booklet on Hans Bockting in the acclaimed Roots series by [Z]OO Productions. Bockting was co-owner of the award-winning studio UNA (Amsterdam), and inventive designer at Traffic Design in the mid-1970s. dutchgraphicroots.nl/?p=2330
Belgian maverick designer-musician Tom Hautekiet (1970-2020). So sad. My obituary is now on the Eye Blog.

Fust & Friends say goodbye to the decade by offering our entire library at an impossibly reasonable price. What’s even crazier: the first 10 buyers receive this very special Bundle at -75%! The link:
