Transformations in typography through the medium of the screen
On her website, designer Zuza Rawa shares the following words about the book:
Transformations in Typography is a book that encapsulates the written and visual content of three type-centred events which took place throughout the last few years: MOTYF 2016, MOTYF 2018 and Future Text using one, distinct visual language, which subtly refers to the design of the publications documenting the previous editions of Moving Type Festivals, using the similar, bright colour palette and dynamic layout. The inside of the book is supposed to evoke the expressive nature of MOTYF events using a grid that allows for various and exciting spread arrangements yet maintains a sense of integrity throughout the publication – a rhythm and a visual melody that refer to the “moving type” aspect of the book’s content. The publication is set using two contrasting typefaces – one experimental and pushing the boundaries of legibility (Nieuk) and one very classic and harmonious (Skolar) – which allows for a pleasant reading experience as well as a bit of “play” in this text-heavy book.
