De Situatie 2
Reading is hard, but writing is harder.
De Situatie is a literary platform and publication founded by PIP Den Haag, aimed at promoting the art of storytelling among young audiences by providing space for emerging writers and type designers alike.
For this second publication they selected ten texts selected from De Situatie’s annual writing competition. For each text, All Sizes selected a unique typeface in close collaboration with type designer Céline Hurka. None of these typefaces had been published before, allowing writing talent and design talent to meet on equal footing.
The texts are interspersed with half pages that are tilted in the reading direction, inspired by the dwarsligger concept—originally designed to make books readable with one hand. Within the context of De Situatie, this device also functions symbolically, reflecting the platform’s slightly off-axis position within the literary landscape. All editorial texts are placed on these half pages, reinforcing the relationship between form and content.
