[portfolio] Typotheque

Vanuit een voormalig schoolgebouw in de Haagse Zwaardstraat publiceren Johanna Bilak, Peter Bilak en Nikola Djurek boeken, magazines en fonts of werken voor - vaak internationale - klanten.

Mozilla

Peter Bilak: ‘Typotheque was approached by Mozilla to define the typography of the new wordmark. We were thrilled to work on this project, as Firefox pioneered typography on the web, by being the first browser to support WOFF webfont format, which allowed the boom of webfonts. A few months later, in October 2009, Typotheque became the first foundry to launch a webfont service, and license its entire collection for both print and web. The project was art-directed by Johnson Banks, the London-based brand identity agency. Besides designing the new word mark, we designed also a complementary typeface Zilla that matches the personality of the new logo.’

HarperCollins

Bilak: ‘HarperCollins commissioned Typotheque to create a special version of Fedra Serif and Sans for their line of over 200 dictionaries. Besides the modification of the Latin set, a special Phonetic version was designed for the dictionary use.’

The Sunday Times

Bilak: ‘The Sunday Times, the largest-selling British national "quality" Sunday newspaper has chosen to use Greta Text, and for the redesign, we have designed a custom narrow version of Greta, which fits a specified number of character set line. Art directed by Al Triviño at the News Corp.’

World Press Photo

Bilak: ‘Because of using highly generic name, World Press Photo, can’t register trademark for its name. Typotheque was commissioned to develop a unique typeface that is recognisable, yet using same proportions as the old logo set in Futura.’
