Trijntje Oosterhuis – Wrecks We Adore album art and singles
Talk about wrecking the type. On the cover of Trijntje Oosterhuis’s 2012 album Wrecks We Adore the text has been made by wrecking a Bodoni (Bitstream’s Bauer Bodoni looks close).
Disturbingly, the letterforms for “Wrecks We Adore” have been modified by removing strokes (R and E), reducing strokes from thick to thin (W, K, and D), eliminating contrast (O), and clipping rectangles out (S). A similar treatment is used for the singles from this album too.
I only came here for the TJ kern in “TRIJNTJE”.
