- Feed Preview Nikola Djurek – Typographica
Brenner
Editorial designer Reed Reibstein: “Type palettes shouldn’t be blandly uniform, especially in publication design. Variety is necessary not only for functional roles (headline versus caption, ...
Tremolo
Tremolo is a typeface family that does not leave you indifferent. That’s how I always feel about Nikola Djurek’s work. His ability to explore new territories and styles in every new project i...
Greta Mono
The lot of monospaced typefaces has improved considerably in recent years, but still, too many are little more than the utilitarian servants they were apparently born to be. Flat and flavorless, ...
Nocturno
You don’t see him much on Twitter. You won’t find him on the popular design conference circuit (though you may spot him at ATypI). In fact, unless you’re a bit of a type nerd, you may not h...

Brioni
Nikola Djurek is difficult to classify. He’s Croatian, but a scant typeface design tradition in his own country sent him afield to Italy and the Netherlands to develop his skills. He is now bas...
Typonine Stencil
It is a joy to welcome a stencil face like T9 that is not based on a previous font and which has Dutch Oldstyle characteristics. It is not perfect (the leg of R, a crucial letter, is too heavy wh...
Amalia
On first viewing, Amalia presents an attractive tension between the deeply familiar and that agreeable tingly sense of nearly imperceptible novelty. Looking closely reveals a type family quietly ...
