Sure they still exist, but rarely am I inclined to pop into one of Verona's <em>Giornalai</em> and buy one. There were times when it seemed impossible for me to do any kind of work without having at least a double-page spread of <span class="author">Vogue Italia</span> next to my computer on my desk. Like the Bible for a priest on the altar, those double-page spreads with photos of <span class="author">Paolo Roversi</span> and the beautiful young <a href="https://frammenti.stefanseifert.com/essay/il-concetto-della-bellezza/" title="Il Concetto della Bellezza"><span class="author">#Natalia Vodianova</a> made me hold my breath and dive into a kind of dreamland where my creations allowed me to get closer to her or whatever my imagination was planting on her beautiful face.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>

There was also the aspect of the magazine layout that secretly played an important role in this game of fantasy. These pages were works of art, ‘<em>Compositions!</em>’ as an old friend of mine (a painter) used to exclaim. The text was carefully matched to the content of the images, and sometimes fonts were even created to reflect a particular aspect of a designer’s work or to enhance the way photos were composed next to each other.

This is a flashback to one of my typefaces called <em>Simmetria</em>, based on an idea by <span class="author">Luca Stoppini</span> and part of a page he masterfully composed in <span class="author">Vogue Italia</span>. And it makes me think back to that time and wonder if the next time I happen to be standing in front of a <em>Giornalaio</em>, I’ll stick around and buy one.

But I guess it is never too late to say thank you to one of the greatest fashion photographers in history who has passed away this year. What you see here is a typeface called <em>Next</em> which was part of my researches for <span class="author">Vogue Italy</span> in the very late nineties just before the switch of the millenium. And it clearly breathes the spirit of those times.

As a photographer friend of mine uses to say it is not only that a type designer maybe inspired by photography: it is also photography who can take advantage of typographic work opposed to, or better mixed with it. I am sure in this case I couldn’t hardly add something to the brilliance of <span class="author">Peter Lindbergh</span>. Nevertheless, I am proud that my creations of that period were liked by Italian art director <span class="author">Luca Stoppini</span> and later on have been admired by some influencer magazine art director in Germany, as well.

The character itself, apart from clearly aiming at futuristic tendencies of that particular time period, was supposed to also keep some of the fashion like classicist taste which we know to find in <em>Bodoni</em> and <em>Didot</em>. The experimental way of interpreting this fact, though, is that hairlines of <em>Next</em> were introduced in other places, for example in parts of their asymmetric serifs.

Certainly, a typeface like this today has less if any importance, but it is just nice to remember some of the inspiration that drove both of us. The type designer and the photographer himself. Thank you for this wonderful inspiration and, in general, for your awesome oeuvre of decades, Mr. Lindbergh!

It contains asymmetric serif remnants which are exact clone parts of a reduced set of curve segments used to create the entire alphabet. Unlike as it may seem on a first glance we didn’t use any of the existing <em>Didot</em> or <em>Bodoni</em> digital fonts but built it from the scratch. Its basis were original historical letters cut for <span class="author">Firmin Didot</span> in the eighteenth century. It had only capital letters and a set of futuristic numbers.

It is a task that has fallen into oblivion now for a while as today we have seemingly so many typefaces at the hand to create expressive <em>editorial layouts</em>. Quite often, though, those efforts suffer from something that <span class="author">Luca Stoppini</span> himself probably would have called looking “<em>cheap</em>”.

I remember the fun it was to create many versions and ideas for a “futurizable” classicist font as this in itself is kind of a contradiction from both a stylistic and historical point of view. Thanks again, Luca, for the great possibilities you gave me to develop myself in the direction of experimental typeface design. Cheers!

In other words some kind of a warning (I laugh) that should point out that I wasn’t very prepared for this task (which was definitely true) and better should leave my hands off before getting into deeper trouble.

Well, the troubles I took into account and I definitely had my fair share. Which means I was fighting the rest of my time in university to make type design my favorite <em>branch</em> and bending all their tasks that they gave to me to make them head in that specific direction. And as if this kind of ‘dark’ reminder was an additional incitement buried in the back of my mind, I always find myself focusing a lot on the design of numbers when I am beginning a new typeface.

So over the years many of my font creations always had complete sets of numbers while often leaving blank spaces in my font charts, namely of many letters that didn’t interest me very much. In particular, my more experimental creations have stylish numbers sometimes on the brink of readability, I admit. The one above is number ‘<em>8</em>’ of a character called <em>Romantic</em> after a story in <span class="author">Vogue Italy</span> and had numbers consistent of exclusively crossed straight lines and a singular curve shape. It matches the <span class="author">Yohji Yamamoto</span> dress that served to me as an inspirational fountain.

					<description><![CDATA[Von dort bis hin zur Nachahmung von Schriften aus der langen Geschichte der Buchdruckerkunst war...]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span class="initial"><span class="cap">V</span>on</span> dort bis hin zur Nachahmung von Schriften aus der langen Geschichte der Buchdruckerkunst war es für mich nicht mehr weit. <span class="author">Nicolas Jensen</span>, <span class="author">Claude Garamond</span> (mehr als Synonym für die französischen Schriften einer bestimmten Periode) und <span class="author">Giambattista Bodoni</span> waren für mich die Stützpfeiler meines ganz eigenen Weges. Der Schritt, ihre Buchstaben zu vergrößern und zu versuchen, diese nachzuzeichnen, war ganz natürlich und konsequent. Dazu braucht man keine Schule und keinen Lehrer. Nur empfundene Faszination und ein bisschen Vorstellungskraft. Schnell kommt man aus den geschwungenen Formen dieser Meister zu einer eigenen Idee, schöpft aus ihrem Schatz die Essenz der gewünschten eigenen Form. Wohlgemerkt aber dies alles noch im Stadium der freien Fantasie. Die alten Schriftmuster der <span class="author">Imprimerie Nationale</span>, Paris, erregten meine Fantasie, was könnte man erst mit diesen Schriften anstellen in einem neuen Zusammenhang, welche wunderbaren Seiten eines Modemagazins könnte man entwerfen! </p>
<blockquote><p>Non c’è bisogno di frequentare scuole, di avere maestri di carne e ossa. Basta osservare quelle forme arcuate. Ben presto ci si va formando la propria essenza, che emerge dalle forme delle lettere sulla carta ingiallita. Basta un po’ di fantasia.</p></blockquote>
<p>Schaut man genau hin, schließt ein wenig die Rahmen und Verzierungen aus, mit denen die Drucker ihre Seiten ausstatteten, bemerkt man schnell, dass ihre Formen alles andere als veraltet sind. Mit großer kalligraphischer Präzision und darüberhinaus einem ausgeprägten Sinn für Geschmack und persönlicher Zurückhaltung gegenüber dem Werk selbst, sind ihre Linien liebevoll geschwungen ausgearbeitet und der Rhythmus der Buchstaben ist großzügig fortgetragen von den Stämmen und Bögen der einzelnen Elemente. </p>
<p>Will man sich genauer auf den Pfad dieser Schriften begeben, kann ich nur empfehlen, sich selbst einmal auf den Weg in die Länder der Wiege der Schriftkunst zu machen. Es war mein großes Glück, das mehr als alles aus meinem jugendlichen Leichtsinn resultierte und dem anderen Begriff von Zeit und Verantwortung, den ich damals hatte, <span class="author">Martino Mördersteig</span> von der <span class="author">Stamperia Valdonega</span>, Verona, Italien, kennenzulernen. Bodoni hatte mir die Richtung auf sein Land gewiesen und so war es ein Plakat, dass ich über seine Buchstaben von 1788 entwarf, das mir diese Tür in den Neunziger Jahren öffnete. Die <span class="author">Smashing Pumpkins</span> wurden bekannt mit ihrem Titel <em>1979</em>. Die Aura der Ästhetik, die dieses Land mit seinen unerschöpflichen, im wahrsten Sinne auf der Straße liegenden, Kunst und Architekturschätzen umgibt hat mich nachhaltig beeinflusst. Jemand hat einmal gesagt, es ist ein Geschenk, das dieses Land dir macht. Es ist wie ein entferntes Orchester, dessen Instrumente ganz unbemerkt den Hintergrund in eine geheimnisvolle Harmonie tauchen. </p>
<blockquote><p>In superficie ti può apparire come una bella donna elegantemente vestito in bianco, ma quando ascolti bene la sua voce, senti che è mescolata all’eterno suono delle arti lontane, ai riflessi strepitosi del Rinascimento. Un’orchestra nel profondo, e il crepitìo dei suoi strumenti, ti accompagnano per le strade di questo paese. Il sole illumina il tuo spirito, per quanto sommesso o ristretto sia.</p></blockquote>
<p>Man sollte dies tun, solange man jung ist. Der junge Geist, dessen Arme in viele Richtungen reicht [<em>quando il coraggio e l’ingenuità non sono ancora due cose separate</em>], leicht inspiriert wird von den unterschiedlichsten Quellen, verfügt über die unbewusste Fähigkeit diese zu verbinden, ein persönliches Bild zu formen, das mehr von Originalität, Ungezwungenheit geprägt ist und daher, mehr als fixiert in eine Richtung zu starren, einen neuen Weg formt. Im Alter bleibt einem nichts anderes übrig, als diesem zu folgen. Hat er sich weit ausgebreitet, Enthusiasmus mit sich gebracht, dann kann er uns weit führen, um vielleicht – das ist eine Hoffnung – auch eine Inspiration zu sein für andere, die folgen. Und doch ist dieser Hintergrund, vor dem wir leben, von großer Bedeutung.<br />
Ich kann mich noch gut daran erinnern, wie ich mit einem transparenten Papier und einem Bleistift versucht habe, einen Wandschmuck nachzuzeichnen auf einer dieser Kacheln, versteckt unter den schattigen Bögen der Gebäude des <em>Piazza dei Signori</em>. Wie viele meiner jugendlichen Unternehmungen scheinbar ohne Sinn und Vollendung, und doch frage ich mich, ob nicht die ein oder andere Kurve auf, oder besser gesagt die unter dem Papier, nicht doch einen Einfluss hatte auf die Buchstaben, die ich bis heute gezeichnet habe.</p>
<p>Mehr aber noch als dies, war ich beeindruckt von einer Gruppe aus jungen Leuten*, deren Arbeit ich das Glück hatte, verfolgen zu können. Ich kann nur sagen, man sollte sich so schnell als möglich von dem absurden Vorurteil freimachen, dass in den südlichen Ländern weniger oder gar langsamer gearbeitet wird. Wo ich mir das auch für den einen oder anderen Sektor wünschen mag (ich meine damit die absurde Hektik und den Stress in den wir nordische Menschen unsere Tage münden lassen), im Bereich der „kreativen Produktion“, blieb ich atemlos staunend (<em>ne sono rimasto senza fiato</em>) vor der Gewaltigkeit und dem unversiegbar scheinenden Strom der Ergebnisse, die dort erzielt werden. Schnelligkeit und Quantität, die mir damals neu und unbegreifbar schienen. Nicht das mühselige Quälen um ein in alle Richtungen narrensicher abgeriegeltes „Ergebnisschen“, sondern das unkomplizierte Darbieten von Ideen und dem eigenen unbegrenzten Vorstellungsvermögen. Es machte mich neugierig, mit welcher Unbefangenheit auch auf die Ergebnisse der anderen geschaut wurde, zum Beispiel das Design aus dem Ausland. Aber immer dann, wenn ich nur allzu bereit war, mich selbst zu beruhigen mit einem „ah, so geht das!…“ wurde ich doch immer wieder überrascht von dem frischen Standpunkt, den diese Leute in ihrer Arbeit, einer nacheifernden „Kopie“ hinzufügen konnten! Um wievieles frischer erschien mir ihre Arbeit, die Schattierungen der Farben, um wievieles reicher die Verläufe der Formen, um wievieles sublimer und detailierter die Abstufungen als in ihrem Original! Das war ihre Substanz: nicht die Suche nach dem Grund, der Eifer zu begründen, sondern die mannigfaltige Ausarbeitung ihrer Darbietung. Warum sich selbst ersticken und einsperren in der Frage, warum ein Baum wächst wie er wächst, statt sich damit zu beschäftigen, dem Treiben seiner Blätter zuzusehen, wie sie sich im Wind übereinander legen, ihre tausend Schatten in einem durch Feuchtigkeit getränkten Licht neue Nuancen ergeben?</p>
<p>Chi abbia più ragione: quello che sprofonda nella pesantezza del pensiero su come mai un albero sia fatto in un modo e non in un altro possibile, o quello invece che si accontenta di osservare il sublime movimento dei suoi rami e delle foglie che si sovrappongono a vicenda, creando in continuazione nuove ombre. Non lo saprei dire davvero. Ma lo sento. È più che altro lì che si nasconde il mistero della vita. E quelle sottili ombre che vacillano nel vento potrebbero non essere nient’altro che la bellezza stessa. È il suo unico modo di manifestarsi.</p>
<p>Nell’uomo il principio della bellezza fosse oscillante, vago e puro nello stesso momento: è un’impossibilità ad aggrapparvisi, e perciò di carattere è decisamente femminile. M’immagino una certa donna vestita di bianco: il bianco che contiene lo spettro di tutti i colori, l&#8217;intero manifestarsi delle diverse sfumature in un unico subitaneo istante.</p>
<blockquote><p>È la vergine che ha sofferto tutto.</p></blockquote>
