NEW 👀 Ardent, The elzevir crafted for screen readability.
Designed by Jean François Porchez, 18 styles exclusively available at Typofonderie (link on profile).

📌Ardent is the result of a desire to offer a typeface of excellent readability on screen, and which, when used in large sizes, gives a unique and distinctive typographic style to graphic design projects.

📌Ardent is also the result of various influences found in the history of French typography but not only, because the technological contributions of the masters of type design are perceived in the innovative choices of Ardent.

The magic of conceptual diagrams always operates when it comes to a simple o. But when it comes to the s, or other letterforms, there is only experience and a good eye that make the difference, with theory.

We re-publish this article initially written in 2000 by Evert Bloemsma (1958-2005), and never published to our knowledge. Evert discusses the challenges and considerations involved in typeface design. (link on profile)

Gazette: Looking for balance and progression

It seems important to us to publish his writings that question our professions and in particular type design practice. 25 years later, the relevance of his reflections must make us think about the attitude we have towards anciens models.

Evert discusses the challenges and considerations involved in typeface design, emphasising the importance of questioning conventions and exploring new possibilities. As influential typeface designer, he reflects on the evolution of typography, noting the influence of technological advancements and the shift towards more conceptual, virtual forms, exemplified by the rise of sans-serif typefaces. To read urgently!

https://typofonderie.com/gazette/didots-or-the-typographic-ideal-of-the-19th-century
By Michel Wlassikoff, the eminent French historian of graphic and type history.

Gazette: The didots or the typographic ideal of the 19th century

The Didot family established itself in the printing trade in the 18th century; but it was at the beginning of the following century, due to the typefaces of Firmin Didot and the editions of his brother, Pierre, that it began the saga that would dominate typography worldwide for decades.
