Helvetica
The exhibition, “Helvetica. A New Typeface?â€, organised and produced by DHUB in collaboration with the Fundació Comunicació Grà fica (FGC), spotlights the typeface created by the Swiss typographer, Max Miedinger, in 1957.
The exhibition includes a timeline of Helvetica’s consolidation over the last fifty years with a view to understanding its role in the history of design, as well as its antecedents and its subsequent influence.
The itinerary, however, starts out with a selection of local works, highlighting the top-quality design of current and past creations whose common denominator is their use of Helvetica.
On display are exhibits by both young designers and consolidated studios, notably David Ruiz, Pablo MartÃn and the studio Lo Siento, among others. Also featured are works by local designers who pioneered successful use of the typeface, including Ricard Giralt Miracle, Josep Pla-Narbona and Enric Satué.
The exhibition, on view at DHUB Montcada from 2 December to 7 March, pays modest homage to this typeface whose evolution accounts for much of 20th-century design.

Elevens are a new range of T-Shirts celebrating hypothetical all-time best XI’s of various football clubs. Conceived as a cult alternative to the replica strip, the shirts are printed on heavy cotton Gildan shirts in London, UK. Their design owes a debt of inspiration to Experimental Jetset’s T–Shirtism, and to the fan forums and pundits who regularly debate their respective clubs all-time, dream line-ups.
Designs for other clubs and England to follow shortly.
If you have any questions or would like your club to have an XI please feel free to ask either via here or by email— elevens(at)gradiate.co.uk
