Cover for issue 7/1966 of Typografia, the technical journal of Czechoslovak printers.

The design is by Oldrich Hlavsa (1909–1995) who contributed cover designs to the periodical already in the 1930s. For the one shown here, Hlavsa arranged the letters of the title in five lines, working with caps from a display cut of Times New Roman and utilizing repeating glyphs and the crop-and-repeat technique. The small text at the top is set in italic and bold styles from Empiriana Antikva, Grafotechna’s version of ATF’s Bodoni.

Covers for the first two issues of Typografia from 1966, both using Normande with perspective effects. Typografia was the technical journal of Czechoslovak printers. It was published by Práce; Stanislav Souček served as the Managing Editor at the time.

The cover designs are by Vladislav Najbrt (b. 1936), who in the 1990s renewed publication of Typografia and headed the journal until its demise in 2015.
