This is your new"Icograda eNews 19/00"!
Together with last week's launch of the Icograda website, we have decided to update your EmailNews, changing its name to eNews. You may have also noticed that the numbering has been changed to reflect the week of the year (currently the 19th week) and the year (00 for 2000). This will help you to file your eNews and easily find them again in the future. We have also introduced a table of contents to help your navigation.

"Dialog with Environment:" 1800 entries!
The Pre-Selection Jury of the Trnava Poster Triennial 2000 had its meeting in Trnava, Slovakia in April. Nine members of the jury, all graphic design experts, judged almost 1800 posters by authors from 42 countries. The results are: during the triennial there will be exhibited 1274 posters by 374 authors in two categories: profesionals and students. The Jan Koniarek Gallery, which is the main organizer of the triennial, is now preparing the catalogue. In the next days we are starting the cycle of one-poster-exhibitions in the window of the CD shop in the town -- the aim is to bring attention of public to the project and to re-present some posters from previous exhibitions and the atmosphere from first two years of the triennial (1991, 1994) when a big part of exhibition was on display in shop windows of Trnava.

New Emigre Font: Solex
Solex: A family of eight text fonts designed by Zuzana Licko, each available in both Macintosh or Windows formats.
Zuzana Licko's latest typeface family, Solex, is her first release in nearly two years. It is a more conservative and studious exploration of the industrial sans serif genre and its past than she has undertaken before. Licko has allowed herself to be lured by ideas that have interested many a type designer while maintaining a footing in her own ideas and using her own methods to express them. Solex marks an intersection of ideas that grew from two or three separate periods of development over the past hundred years; yet Licko, in her investigation of formal design possibilities for Solex, referred to relatively few historical models. Inspiration for Solex reportedly came from two principal sources: Alternate Gothic and Bauer Topic. Furthermore, Solex revisits postmodern themes seen in Erik Spiekermann's digital milestone, Meta Sans, and its cousin, Officina Sans. In both Licko's and Spiekermann's designs we find a measure of rigidity, linearity, and noncalligraphic monotone. Indeed, Solex even shows faint signs of going in the direction of Matthew Carter's text series, Bell Centennial, with respect to the narrow (almost trapezoidal) bowls, slimmed interior strokes, and pronounced traps. All the same, Solex has a look of its own in text settings, and it will likely find a place for itself among numerous other condensed grotesques in the years ahead.

A huge, heretofore unseen graphic design collection was unearthed recently. No one knew where exactly it came from, or whose collection it was. The perplexed curators who stumbled upon it write in their introduction: "The reflection in the monitor was our faces of dismay, as we searched in vain for information on the materials. Among the materials we found a bound journal which we initially took for an artist's book. Its pages were densely layered with notes, images, clippings, and scraps of all kinds of printed matter. We eventually discovered that the journal outlined what may have been meant as a potential exhibition of the file's works. Left to ourselves to make sense of the materials, we eventually came to the exhibition before you. If it is the intended exhibition we can't say. And what we can say seems ludicrous."
