Livraison Magazine #13 – Language and Typography

13-01-2010

The 13th issue of Livraison – bilingual journal – addresses the relationship between language and typography, along two complementary lines:

- language as a linguistic proposal shaped by typography
- typography as a graphic language, with its own structure (syntax, vocabulary), enunciating modalities (book, poster, etc.), producers (graphic designers, typographers), and readers.

This issue on language and typography is also meant to be a space for cross-thought and creation. Two kinds of contributions are offered: theoretical contributions on one hand, and visual proposals (for instance typographic creations and recent experiments) on the other hand.

Commercial Type is a joint venture between Paul Barnes and Christian Schwartz, who have collaborated since 2004 on various typeface projects, most notably the award winning Guardian Egyptian. The company publishes retail fonts developed by Schwartz and Barnes, their staff, and outside collaborators, and also represents the two when they work together on typedesign projects.
Following the redesign of The Guardian, as part of the team headed by Mark Porter, Schwartz and Barnes were awarded the Black Pencil from the D&AD. The team were also nominated for the Design Museumâ€™s â€˜Designer of the Yearâ€™ prize. In September 2006, Barnes and Schwartz were named two of the 40 most influential designers under 40 in Wallpaper*.
