Massimiliano Audretsch produced the design for Madrid and London based fashion label Tíscar Espadas. The label launched their 2022 collection under the title Capítulo IV along with a brand new lookbook: A 10-page newspaper-sized world displaying Tíscar Espadas’ work through photography by Dani De Jorge, words by Kevin Kohler, and some type as well as custom lettering by Gruppo Due. The lookbook was shown at the fashion weeks in Tokyo, Madrid, Milan, Paris, and Barcelona throughout 2022.
The custom letters, hand sketched and later digitized as a fragile but dynamic handwriting, are applied for display use only, introducing the viewer to this new chapter of Tíscar Espadas. All informations on the other hand are kept in the foundry’s workhorse typeface G2 Erika.
Horizontal lines – over the top of some terms
expressions, benchark – off shite transit
CAPÍTULO IV, the act (unkown)
the process of into a porous – transit
stockwell road corner point – turning
pass and repeat needle and thread – reverie
pleasant thought while – you see the peasant work
fingertips touching golden ears
golden hours. poplar trees, waving leaves
visionary scheme, wild conceit, idle fancy – leaving
arrival halls – hand on hand
holding holding holding
celestial bodies – shadows across the disk of a larger body –
transits of venus are rare
venues seven
bodies – moving, proceeding, shaping smoothly – graceful
just as water, tears (…)
CAPÍTULO IV – be my torch, moon
my geometric postulate – peace
let us dream, let us dream, let us dream
together together
