I see typography as a discipline to organize A cultural pollution of incomparable dimension. As I said, at the time, if all people doing desktop I do not like typography intended as an expression publishing were doctors we would all be dead!

Typefaces experienced an incredible explosion. I am aware that there is room for that too, but it is The computer allowed anybody to design new not my language and I am not interested in it. In order to draw attention to that issue I made I prefer a more objective approach: I try to make as an exhibition showing work that we had done clear as possible the different parts of a message by over many years by using only four typefaces: using space, weight, and typographic alignments, Garamond, Bodoni, Century Expanded, and such as flush left, centered or justified.

The aim of the exhibition was to show that a large variety of printed matter could be There are times when a specific type design done with an economy of type with great results. The accent was on structure or promotional contexts. These are not our typical areas of involvement but I still believe that most typefaces are designed whenever a brilliant solution is found I appreciate for commercial reasons, just to make money or both the intent and the results.

Personally, I can get along well with a half Good design is never boring, only bad design is. Besides those already mentioned, I can add Optima, Futura, Univers the most advanced design of the century since it comes in 59 variations of the same face , Caslon, Baskerville, and a few other modern cuts. As you can see my list is pretty basic but the great advantage is that it can assure better results.

It is also true that in recent years the work of some talented type designers has produced some remarkable results to offset the lack of purpose and quality of most of the other typefaces. One of the most important elements in typography 54 is scale and size relationship.

Pannelli e supporti in e-mail design vignelli. This type Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, in maecenas Centered, pharetra gravida ullamcorper neque. Formerly it was faster to odio placerat ultrices adipiscing lectus keep the alignment on the left side rather then ornare, ut velit nonummy, quidem vitae turpis enim. Adipiscing a lectus, scelerisque having to kern the slug for every line.

It also tempus vivamus ac. Arcu fermentum makes more sense since in our culture we read nibh, turpis pharetra gravida urna from left to right and it is better for the eye pellentesque vel, mi sodales, justo congue pretium lectus condimentum, quisque diam to go to the next line than having to cope with consectetur interdum. Aliquam proin et hyphens all the time.

However, it is important to magnis sit augue, nisl in quos odio eu odio, control the shape of the rugged side by shifting pellentesque suspendisse nec non pulvinar dui cras, sollicitudin at.

This may be time consuming but aesthetically rewarding. We use centered for lapidary text, invitations, or any rhetorical composition where it may be more Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, in maecenas pharetra appropriate, or for the address at the bottom of gravida ullamcorper neque. Sed hendrerit a letterhead, and for business cards. Adipiscing a lectus, scelerisque Justified is used more for text books, tempus vivamus ac.

Arcu fermentum nibh, but it is not one of our favorites because it is turpis pharetra gravida urna pellentesque vel, fundamentally contrived.

Adipiscing a lectus, scelerisque tempus vivamus ac. Arcu fermentum nibh, turpis pharetra gravida urna pellentesque vel, mi sodales, justo congue pretium lectus condimentum, quisque diam consectetur interdum. Choose Title Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, in maecenas pharetra gravida Relationship the proper size of type in relation to the width of ullamcorper neque. Sed hendrerit proin diam duis eu, the column: cursus odio placerat ultrices adipiscing lectus ornare, ut velit nonummy, quidem vitae turpis enim.

Adipiscing a lectus, 8 on 9, 9 on 10, 10 on 11 pt for columns up scelerisque tempus vivamus ac. Arcu fermentum nibh, turpis to 70 mm. Aliquam proin et magnis sit augue, nisl in quos odio Naturally every situation may require a different eu odio, pellentesque suspendisse nec non pulvinar dui cras, sollicitudin at.

For display reasons we like to set the type much larger or increase the leading to achieve a particular effect. Basically we stick to no more then two type sizes on a printed page, but there are exceptions. We like to play off small type with larger type - usually twice as big for instance, 10 pt text and 20 pt headings.

I prefer to keep the same size for Title Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, in maecenas pharetra gravida ullamcorper neque. Sed hendrerit proin diam duis eu, cursus odio placerat ultrices adipiscing lectus ornare, ut velit heads and subheads in a text, and just make them nonummy, quidem vitae turpis enim.

Adipiscing a lectus, in bold, with a line space above and none below, scelerisque tempus vivamus ac. Arcu fermentum nibh, turpis or two line spaces above and one below according pharetra gravida urna pellentesque vel, mi sodales, justo to the context.

Aliquam proin et magnis sit augue, nisl in quos odio eu odio, pellentesque suspendisse nec non pulvinar dui cras, also more economical since you can set a style sollicitudin at. We try to achieve a typographic composition that expresses intellectual elegance as opposed to blatant vulgarity by using typographic devices: a proper amount of leading for the context, a proper Title use of roman or italic type, a regular spacing, a Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, in maecenas pharetra gravida tight kerning, using rulers when appropriate to ullamcorper neque.

Sed hendrerit proin diam duis eu, cursus odio placerat ultrices adipiscing lectus ornare, ut velit separate different parts of the message , and a nonummy, quidem vitae turpis enim. Adipiscing a lectus, logical use of bold, regular and light type weights. We do not like the use of type as a decorative element, and we are horrified by any type Arcu fermentum nibh, turpis pharetra gravida urna pellentesque deformation. There are situations, however, as in vel, mi sodales, justo congue pretium lectus condimentum, quisque diam consectetur interdum.

Aliquam proin et magnis packaging design where a more flexible attitude sit augue, nisl in quos odio eu odio, pellentesque suspendisse could provide better results. But even there, when nec non pulvinar dui cras, sollicitudin at. In that situation the type between the rulers will be 8 pt, always set closer to the ruler above. Type should always hang from the ruler, regardless of the size. This is another little but important detail of my Canon. I have a great love and respect for typography and I tried to learn as much as possible from all the great Masters.

The basic rules of typography have been set long ago but as beautiful scores they have been played in different ways by many talented artists, all making a mark and opening a new way with their interpretations. B Cat. C-D Cat. E-F Cat. Extra Div. Libr Div. Cue Estado Div. Titul nto Mas. I Depto. Numero Cat. Econ N. Extra Titular Sexo undo Fem.

Seg imiento Mas. Comuna Div. Numero Div. Calle Div. I love the play between a very large type size for headlines versus a much smaller type size for the body text, with proper white space in between.

White space for me is a very important element in graphic composition. It is really the white that makes the black sing. White, in typography, is what space is in Architecture. It is the articulation of space that gives Architecture the perfect pitch. Another element is the relationship among type sizes in the same printed page.

Our first rule is to stick to one or two type sizes at the most. If necessary, there are other devices such as bold, light, roman and italic to differentiate different parts of a text, but even there, stick to the minimum.

Type weights can be used to great advantage when dedicated to a specific function, rather than be used for color purposes or even worse as a phonetic analogy. Some people who talk loud and tend to scream trying to persuade you, love to increase the size and weight of type to make the message louder.

That is exactly what I consider intellectual vulgarity - something we try to stay away from. In a world where everybody screams, silence is noticeable. White space provides the silence. That is the essence of our typography. In the previous paragraph I have given some examples of the meaning of scale in graphic design.

Scale is the most appropriate size of an object in its natural context. However, it can be manipulated to achieve particular expression in a particular context - actually by being purposely out of scale. To master the notion of scale is a lifelong search that involves interpretation of functions, both tangible and intangible, physical, and psychological. Scale applies to everything. It can be right or it can be wrong; it can be appropriate or inappropriate; too big or too small for the task at hand.

The choice of the proper material, its thickness, its texture, its color, its weight, its sound, its temperature - every detail assails our senses and provokes a response. Therefore, we must be in control of it because by choosing the most appropriate one to convey our message we succeed in our intent. Design means to be in control of every detail and scale is one of the most relevant ones.

And so is its opposite, when it is deliberately chosen. An example which comes to mind is the sculptures by Claus Oldenburg where the transformation of scale in a particular context gives power and life to the object. Manipulation of scale implies knowledge and full awareness of the meaning of scale. It is by mastering light that we can achieve the expression of any artifact. The basic qualities of reflection or absorption of light are the elements to play with in designing any kind of object.

A glass will reveal its color when light passes through it, or will be trapped inside of it if the surface has been etched, engraved, or treated with some texture. A silver object, when polished, reflects light and when engraved, will trap the light. Any shiny surface reflects light, any dull surface absorbs light, and this is true for any material including paper. A polished material has completely different and sometimes opposite connotations from a matte surface, a wide spectrum ranging from rich to poor, from opulent to restrained.

Texture has an infinite range of tactile or visual experiences and it is essential for designers to sharpen their perception in order to articulate and master the media. It is through the choice of materials and their finishes that we articulate the shape of an object to express its content, to celebrate its appropriateness, to reveal its soul.

Texture and color in a mutually supporting dialogue define any creative artifact - anything waiting for us to decode its inner secrets and thereby enrich our perception and transfer it to whatever we choose. Generally speaking we do not use color in a pictorial manner. Therefore, we tend to prefer a primary palette of Red, Blue, and Yellow. This may seem restrictive.

It merely means that most of the time we like to use color to convey a specific message, therefore, we tend to use it more as symbol or as an identifier. This is particularly true in Corporate Identity Programs where Chromotype becomes the Identifier along with the Logotype or other devices morphotypes, phonotypes etc. We have used the entire spectrum of colors to express moods, feelings, passions, connotations and more. Color is a very important element in the formulation of our projects, but, as we do with typefaces, we have limited and articulated our palette to express the message in the clearest and most understandable way.
