Nice use of Syndicat Grotesk for The Hand, a conscientious wine bar in York, UK.

The young London fashion label MANA strives to be a benchmark for a better future of fashion. “Our goal is to minimize human impact on the planet by only using sustainable materials and producing responsibly,” say founders Avneet and Sunny, who have followed in their family’s footsteps of working in fashion.

Having grown up with the Sikh philosophy, it is one of their core beliefs to “respect the environment and live in harmony with it”. So 5% of every purchase automatically is donated to charities such as World Land Trust, Fauna & Flora International, The Wildlife Trusts, Earthjustice and the Soil Association.

The MANA range is just as minimalist as its corporate design: T-shirts, sweatshirts, hoodies and jogging pants – all the basics for eco-conscious consumers who still want to be fashionable. The decision to use the brand’s corporate fonts on the products, the website as well as in the socials is just as on trend: Pangea (Regular and SemiBold) and Pangea Text (Light). The Pangea Collection corresponds to both the MANA design taste and its vision for sustainability.

Pangea is the first typeface that has made a contribution to climate protection. Its designer Christoph Koeberlin donates 25% of his income from this typeface towards the preservation of the rainforest and for large-scale reforestation projects involving the local population.

Accessorize has refreshed their brand identity with the use of FT System Blank as the leading typeface.

FT System Blank was used in the re-branding of Amsterdam coffee bar Locals at the occasion of them opening a second location:

At Locals, coffee has always been the center of attention. So it is only right to introduce you to our very own home blend: Locals 27. We celebrate this properly, by opening up a second location that is fully focused on pouring you the perfect cup to go, with tasty bites to go along. We can’t wait to meet you there.

In the book Asymmetrical Response, Brooklyn-based conceptualist Cory Arcangel and Russian internet artist Olia Lialina Olia Lialina question the world around them through technological advances and the web, in constant dialogue with their practice. They bring together illustrations of their collective works and exhibitions with essays and poems. It is a rich book that takes several forms: a 120 page book, a CD and a booklet with a theater text, shipped in a plastic record sleeve. It is the result of the reflection of two influential artists of net art. From Cory Arcangel:

The last one of the 2 year touring showz w Olia Lialina! Had a big room club, pop-up, concert LED and even lasers. Ran during the Ibiza “season”. :)

The cover expresses the net art spirit. Perpetually questioning the web and the digital world, this cover returns to the first aesthetic element that the web has bitten with the most mocked typeface of the web: Comic Sans, used by Cory Arcangel for his Arcangel surfware logo.

For Olia Lialina, it is Times New Roman, a typeface known by all with the arrival of desktop software, like MS Word or Open Office that offer it.

Finally, the title of the book is set in Helvetica. It is a typeface known from the internet considered as the basic typeface after Times New Roman, at the same level as Arial.

The design is in total link with the tag system fonts as primary type.

In addition, there is an image taken from a low-res GIF by Olia Lialina. For Croy Arcangel, we see his artwork imgres. The jogging Adidas will be a research track for Cory Arcangel.

No Ordinary Oat Milk is a New Zealand based Non GMO Oat milk brand by Plant Projects. The branding uses Tomato Grotesk (v1) from The Designers Foundry. From design studio Friends of Friends:

Although the plant milk category is rather saturated on a global scale, many brands have opted for a bold, bright and illustrative style design for their packaging. In order to stand out, we chose to take a minimal and monochromatic creative direction. By doing so, we were able to hero the honest and very shameless brand tone of voice. No Ordinary Oat Milk has just launched onto shelves in New Zealand and encourages consumers to switch up their daily dairy milk intake for this delicious plant-based option developed especially for coffee.

ABC Diatype and ABC Monument Grotesk Mono in use by Zak Group:

Zak Group teamed up with Virgil Abloh to design ICONS, a new book that documents Abloh’s oeuvre at Nike and gives shape to a cultural history of sneakers.

In 2016, Nike and Virgil Abloh joined forces to create a sneaker collection celebrating ten of the Oregon-based company’s most iconic shoes. ICONS offers an unprecedented behind-the-scenes view into this industry-defining collaboration, bringing together all the greats — including Air Jordan 1, Air Max 90, Air Force 1, and Air Presto.

The first part of the book catalogues a visual culture of sneakers and Abloh’s investigative, creative process through original text messages from Abloh to Nike designers and rare materials from the brand’s archives. We worked closely with Abloh to select never-before-seen prototypes and art direct a series of photographs by Sergiy Barchuk.

A lexicon in the second part defines the key people, places, objects, ideas and materials from which the project grew. Entries like ‘Marcel Duchamp’, ‘Illinois Institute of Technology’, ‘open source’ and ‘ready-made’ provide an evolving vocabulary underpinning the project. Texts by Nike’s Nicholas Schonberger, writer Troy Patterson, curator and historian Glenn Adamson, and Virgil Abloh with Emily Segal frame the collaborative work within fashion and design history.

The electric volt green cover features the original 1971 swoosh by designer Carolyn Davidson framed by Abloh’s addition SOMETHING’S OFF. An eight-page gatefold charts the entirety of Abloh’s prolific output including the original ten icons and the 50 designs released over the following three years.

Is Normecore still a thing in graphic design and fashion? Is it just an outdated trend or a permanent counter-movement to overloaded visual aesthetics?
