Book in a Box

Matt Van Ekeren

I recently collaborated with three other designers, Molly Hein, Catherine Grothe and Christina Rimstad, to create a conceptual response to Emil Ruder’s text Typographie: A Manual of Design. Gaining inspiration from traveling suitcase exhibitions, we expanded the book into an educational toolbox that includes a poster, stamp kit, motion graphic DVD, and a series of accordian-folded pamphlets tracing the thread of Ruder’s influence throughout contemporary design.

  From Bangkok, Thailand, comes Kondolar, a striking take on the increasingly popular genre of slab serif text-and-display fonts. Designer Ekaluck Peanpanawate based his design on a simple skeleton: straight sides, gently curved horizontals. That squarish silhouette combines very well with the short, sturdy serifs, some of which are asymmetrical. And while the alternate extended legs on the K and the R seem a bit out of character on such a straight-faced metallic font, they combine remarkably well. With a well-built character set including small caps and several numeral styles, and a supple italic for the Regular weight, Kondolar is surprisingly versatile for such a small family. Besides its use as a text and display typeface in print, we predict a prosperous career as a web font.

• Verner, the script brother of Verna, is a versatile contemporary script font. Verner has a set of automatic ligatures, swash characters and a selection of ornaments and a couple of alternate characters that you can easily access in any Opentype savvy program. Ornaments are placed in Stylistic set 1 but you'll also find them from the glyph panel.
