Visuelt is Scandinavia’s largest design festival. It has been running for over 20years and describes itself as an “annual event for the creative industry.” The festival itself consists of a competition, award ceremony, party and a much loved exhibition. They pride themselves on being a place to inspire and allow people to meet within the industry. This years festival theme is based on the “power of play within society and how you can fuel the creative process through curiosity, discovering something new, experimenting and learning through experience.”
The London based foundry Colophon worked with Bielke & Yang to create a family of type for the competition. Colophon Foundry has now recently released the 1.3metre specimen book for general sale.
Just a little bit about Colophon Foundry, they’re an international award winning type foundry based in both London and Los Angeles (Alright for some!) As a foundry they create, publish and distribute both retails and custom typefaces, spanning a range of analog and digital media.
The book has been printed with offset lithography in three colours, two different metallic and a black. The publication is a hand-glued concertina with a four-panel dust jacket. Colophon Foundry has produced 500 of these specimen books. The books are now on general sale and will be dispatched the week commencing 2nd October, pre orders are being shipped with a free copy of BESPOKE CATALOGUE 1, so you better get in quick.
