Detail from the 2016 poster

Posters and website for the Kongenfest, a two day open air music festival in Borová Sihot, Slovakia. Woodkit from Typotheque plays an important part in the festival’s visual identity. Woodkit Letterpress includes five different forms for each basic alphanumeric character. For Kongenfest, Ondrej Jób exclusively uses the condensed alternates — a look that can be achieved by activating the OpenType feature Discretionary Ligatures. Since 2011, the festival’s logo features another typeface by Job, Bismuth.

On the website (2016), Woodkit is paired with Ján Filípek’s Komu B for band names.

Obchodná [Commerce] shows the development of the shop windows on the main shopping street in Bratislava, Slovakia. Photographer Ľubo Stacho captured them for over 30 years. The result is a beautiful piece of visual documentation. The book spread shows the old photographs on the right in the juxtaposition with the new ones on the left pages.

Komu is the revival of a style of letters frequently used on billboards during the socialist period in the former Czechoslovakia. Komu B as used for the title of the book is the rounded version, with more equalized letter widths.

“Veterán” uses Churchward Design 70 (1970).

HBO Europe’s Burning Bush mini series (3 parts) uses a special version of Komu that combines Komu A and Komu B.
