Greek Typeface Anatomy

Latin type design has a strong history of relating structure to anatomy, but what about other scripts? Our core team has worked hard to produce introductions to typeface anatomy for Devanagari and Arabic. Now Irene Vlachou adds an article about Greek typeface anatomy. Follow the links above to read the other articles and download the accompanying PDFs to learn more about scripts from your global neighbours.

Type in use: Todavía magazine uses Abril & Adelle Sans

Argentinian magazine Todavía ran for 40 issues and enjoyed a warm reception in Latin American culture. In addition to that, designers would look to it for aesthetic inspiration and the populace would look to it for respectful representation of artists, issues, and themes. Among other typefaces, Abril and Adelle Sans were featured prominently and in arresting ways. Our blog has the longer article with in-use pictures.

Type in use: Maiola in “TypeFaces: Women of Type”

For her MA thesis, designer Yulia Popova has designed, written, and edited the book TypeFaces: Women of Type. The book is devoted entirely to recognising women in type design (Gayaneh Bagdasaryan, Maria Doreuli, Louise Fili, Martina Flor, and others) and includes a showcase of typefaces, essays, and a series of interviews, including with our own Veronika Burian. Yulia also chose Veronika’s Maiola family for the cover and to set key moments throughout the book. While it doesn’t yet have a publisher, we hope to see it printed and on bookshelves soon.
