The design studio Stroke and Marvel conceived and designed this cycling guide for the tourism board of the German region Seenland Oder-Spree.

Typeset in German and Polish, the booklet covers twenty cycling tours over 180 pages, complete with clear maps and lovely photos of the countryside.

Headlines and map labels are beautifully set my typeface Bild. The main body text is set in Loretta by Nova Type, with supporting text in Dia by Schick Toikka.

From word-famous paintings to contemporary pieces, Je veux être riche et célèbre, je serai artiste aims at showing children and teenagers the various aspects of what it is to “be an artist”. Tired of the overtold story of the pennyless genius, Dominique de Font-Réaulx (mediation director at the Louvre) tries to paint a different picture with detailed explanations about artist’s works, historical context, and vision.

The book features titles in Benoît Bodhuin’s Pimpit (bb-bureau) and texts in Jonny Pinhorn’s Karla, with italics from Loretta (Nova Type Foundry).

A presentation label accompanies each artwork, giving useful details such as artists’ names, title and techniques but also unexpected ones like the moment the work was created in the artist’s life, or the artwork size compared to an average human being. Those labels are set in Clash Grotesk (Indian Type Foundry) and Roc Grotesk (Kostic).

Published in 2024 by Éditions courtes et longues.

Every once or twice a year, the literature association literatur:vorarlberg, located in Vorarlberg, the westernmost state of Austria, publishes its very own magazine titled V#. The publication provides a platform to present and support the work of regional authors. Each issue is dedicated to a particular theme or topic to which authors are invited to contribute their texts. In autumn 2022, the association published the special issue V#38 Täuschung for which young and upcoming authors were asked to explore the theme of illusion. A wide spectrum of texts was produced and presented alongside hand-drawn optical illusions. The publication was printed with the spot colours blue and orange to achieve a particularly intense colour contrast. This enhances the effect of the optical illusions and contributes to an overall playful appearance of the special issue.

Designers Nguyen Gobber used Loretta for the text, combined with Antarctica.

Schmuck und körperbezogenes Objekt als reflexive Praxis! / Jewellery and body-related object as reflective practice! is the title of this bilingual catalog which provides insights into the work, positions and thoughts of students and graduates of the department of jewellery and body-related objects at the HAWK – University of Applied Sciences and Arts in Hildesheim. The results of 24 students from various semester projects and theses from the years 2020–2022 are collected in this publication.

The brochure shows how jewellery and body-related objects can be thought of, which backgrounds flow into approaches and works and how an expanded idea of jewellery can be formulated both theoretically and practically. The works are collectivized within five collections and illustrate a contemporary discourse and a range of artistic research and design approaches.

The brochure is accompanied by three texts that reflectively share extended perspectives, experiences and attitudes towards the phenomenon of jewellery and body-related objects.
