Collage with 11×11 squares and the blue dot LTR logo at the center. Each square shows letters and typographic by LettError. Colorful, very diverse. From handdrawn lettering to slick fonts.
Drawing of a record player with an impossible spiral shape record. Lettering reads “the Euler phonograph. Extended Play”.
Van Blokland perhaps too modestly calls Action Grotesque ‘a bit boring’—but this is not a boring typeface, even if it excels at typography that strives not to call attention to itself. It carries essential information with clarity and composure. The boldness of its design decisions is most apparent at large sizes, where forms once engineered for function reveal a refreshing character.
A field with short lines. Only the angle varies. Deep flowing patterns emerge.
Two skulls, drawn in black shading, on a white background. The lines are rough. The left skull appears to look at the teeth of the right skull. It points with a bony finger and says “CAVITY”. Both skulls appear to be grinning. Which they always do, one supposes. The text balloon is lettered in a rough Fraktur as if the artist wants to make some sort of point. In the bottom right corner, a small ornamented box with “E+H”
Black and white drawing of a skull, in the middle of 10 fish. They all look at the skull. Fanciful shading. Are the fish nibbling on the skull? That would be gross. Still. A text label at the bottom reads “Ensor feeds the fish”.
A black and white drawing of two skeletons, with bits and rags still attached, doing a wild dance. Letter E and letter H float between the limbs. It could be a reference to James Ensor and Hans Holbein the younger, who, each in his own era, used skeletons to question authority and remind those in power that they are one step away from a neatly cut grave. Check the Holbein engravings.
Photo of the reflection of the lettering on the outside of the UvA library. You see the bookshelves on in the inside, and the reflection of the letters behind the camera. And a bit of blue sky.
Red capital letter S in the back of a white van. Text reads "NEWSLTR #18 OUT NOW".
A quick visit to the library, shining in the afternoon sun.
Animated white text on a blue background. It is an invitation to sign up for the newsletter.
Animation with some LTR Very Bauble letters transforming from Sans to Tuscan.
The empty bits will be filled in. It will be solid.
The letterforms in LTR Very Bauble transform beautifully between a Sans and a very plump and rich Tuscan
