Krawanker by Bruno Pellandini
For Krawanker, Edition Krill for the first time left the book design to an external designer, and gave a carte blanche to Jost Hochuli. In the resulting publication, the actual content is separated from paratexts like title, dedication, imprint etc. through the color of the selected paper grades. Further, it is the first time that Hochuli’s own Allegra was put to use. The typeface will be commercially available soon.
52 pages, schoolbook soft cover (“Schulbuchbroschur”) sewn with black thread, two colored endpapers, 168×280 mm — editionkrill.at
The book includes three etchings by Markus Orsini-Rosenberg.
Detail: Pages start with a bold initial in the same size. They end with a bold page number. Latter is not assigned a fixed position on the page, but rather a fixed distance from the last line of the column.
