1 Defining a brief<br />

At <strong>the</strong> beginning <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> year, we were asked to think about a brief<br />

th<strong>at</strong> would define <strong>the</strong> purpose <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> typeface we were about to<br />

cre<strong>at</strong>e. Not having thought about any particular direction for my<br />

design, I tried to think about ideas in order to come out with a brief<br />

precise enough to draw an outline <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> future typeface. The only<br />

thing I knew was th<strong>at</strong> I wanted to experiment as much as possible,<br />

and tryout some unusual shapes through <strong>the</strong> survey <strong>of</strong> a non-l<strong>at</strong>in<br />

script. Having recently worked on a graphic design project linked<br />

with phonetic writings, I first thought about cre<strong>at</strong>ing a typeface th<strong>at</strong><br />

would include characters <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Intern<strong>at</strong>ional Phonetic Alphabet<br />

(IPA) and used in public<strong>at</strong>ions (e.g. linguistic books, dictionaries,<br />

etc.). However, due to various reasons, I decided to cre<strong>at</strong>e a typeface<br />

th<strong>at</strong> would include Greek and Cyrillic, along with L<strong>at</strong>in, and intended<br />

to be used in bilingual public<strong>at</strong>ions such as airline magazines or<br />

design magazine but th<strong>at</strong> could also work for brochures, leaflets, city<br />

guides, etc.<br />

GREECE<br />

In order to do so, it was first necessary for me to take note <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

requirements for a typeface designed for magazines: first, as for<br />

newspapers, typeface design in magazines needs to be capable <strong>of</strong><br />

running lengthy texts (although in magazines articles tend to be<br />

shorter and more <strong>of</strong>ten interrupted by o<strong>the</strong>r elements on page such<br />

as illustr<strong>at</strong>ions and/or photographs). Again, in magazine layouts <strong>the</strong><br />

text hierarchy is much more important, and <strong>the</strong> fonts th<strong>at</strong> are chosen<br />

tend to be fairly playful, with a strong identity (and even more<br />

when <strong>the</strong> magazine is supposed to represent a brand, like for airline<br />

companies). Finally, being a typeface including several scripts, <strong>the</strong><br />

challenge would be for <strong>the</strong>m to work nicely toge<strong>the</strong>r when used in<br />

<strong>the</strong> same text or on a same page [Fig.1].<br />
