KOOL. A Type Specimen
€35.00
VAT included
KOOL. A Type Specimen is an artist’s book built around KOOL (“cabbage” in Dutch), a new font designed by Reus in collaboration with Antonio de la Hera and Kia Tasbihgou. Halfway between a vegetal alphabet and concrete poetry, the KOOL font includes 26 lowercase letters, 26 uppercase letters, a full set of numbers, 16 punctuation marks, and 6 symbols. It is the result of a three-year research project by the artist, focused on the visual and calligraphic relationship between red cabbage scraps and the letters of the Latin alphabet. The book created by Reus to present the font takes inspiration from the traditional format of the type specimen book—the sample book used by type foundries to showcase the wide range of graphic possibilities, layouts, and configurations of a new typeface.
