Pourquoi créer une revue papier sur le livre à l’heure où l’Internet remet en question le matérialisme tout naturel de l’Occidental moyen, à l’heure où la valeur pécuniaire de «l’objet livre» refoule les adeptes du savoir gratuit disponible sur la toile ? Que deviennent aujourd’hui ces cahiers reliés, fondement de notre société, détenteurs de notre Histoire ? Face à la dématérialisation des contenus éditoriaux, la pratique du design au sein du livre prend une dimension d’autant plus importante. Objets anodins ou véritables œuvres d’art, les livres, à travers leurs formes et les histoires qu’ils racontent, ont la vocation de créer un lien unique avec ceux qui les lisent, les consultent ou les possèdent.

In Pieces - 30 Endangered Species, 30 Pieces. Optimo Type Foundry Jeff Schreiber Scandia Font Family | Process Type Foundry Swapping angularity for lush curves, Scandia picks up where Scandia Line leaves off. If its sibling is the skeleton, then Scandia is the flesh. With a nod to the classic geometric sans serifs of the 20th-century, Scandia builds a steady rhythm across its four weights and matching italics to create a versatile family of fonts. While developing Scandia, care was given to avoid simply wrapping curves around Scandia Line’s primitive forms. Instead, it was used as a proportional guide before imagining curves and a different weight structure for what would become Scandia. To complement the four primary styles, a stenciled variant modeled on the Bold weight has been added to the family. Scandia also includes a handful of alternate characters that can be found as an OpenType Stylistic Set. If you hadn’t guessed by now, Scandia Line was designed first and served as the inspiration for Scandia.
