Welcome to Jaroslav Benda’s improvised library. Famous czech designer and typographer who became a source of inspiration for not only his peers and students, but also for the generations of artists who followed. If we were to set out on a path back along the trail of important Czech typographers whose work shows respect for the legacy of authors from previous generations, the path would lead us back to Jaroslav Benda, logically and without many turns. Exhibition is open from 7 June till 15 July 2017 UM Gallery, Prague.

Petra Docekalova’s diploma project has received Certificate of Typographic Excellence 2017 by Type Directors Club. Her scripts will be included in the Annual of the Type Directors Club, Typography 38, and will also be shown at the 63nd Awards Exhibition (TDC63) in New York City.

We attended Away Days conference at Berlin Type School hosted by UdK TypoLabor. Students of Type design and typography studio from Prague’s UMPRUM academy exhibited their diploma works. It was a great time. Huge thanks to Jenny Baese and Dan Reynolds for inviting us and for the great atmosphere! See you next year hopefully!
