Vzkazy domů

The book Vzkazy domů, Příběhy Čechů, kteří odešli do zahraničí (emigrace a exil 1848–1989),   designed by Prague-based Filip Blažek, uses Veronika Burian's typeface Maiola.

Content, design and typeface harmonise perfectly: this bilingual book describes stories of Czech emigrants who left the country between 1849 and 1989. Its unusual colour scheme and the nice binding further accentuate the high quality. Each chapter is printed in two Pantone colours, one for each language. Any new chapter takes over one of the previous colours and adds a new one. In this way a total of 7 Pantone colours are used and each chapter has a unique colour combination.
