On Friday 9 July, during the Typoweek conference at BAU Design Academy in Barcelona, David Quay and Ramiro Espinoza will talk about the development of ‘Bath Sans‘, a type family commissioned by Bath’s City Council and FW Design in London.
Bath City public communication system is in the process of being redesigned. A custom made type family was required to reflect the unique qualities of Bath and to reinforce local values. The new typefaces will also improve consistency and legibility of existing street signs.

Museum Het Schip is an institution devoted to preserving the work of the Amsterdamse School of architecture. It is located in Spaarndammerplantsoen 140 in one of the most beautiful building complexes in the city. Among its latest publications is a well-illustrated cycling guide ‘On the Waves of the City.’
The booklet is packed full of useful information, fine photography—by Floris Leeuwenberg—and is elegantly designed by studio Barlock from The Hague, It is an invitation to discover, by bike, the many architectural marvels of this socially-motivated group of artists of the early XX century.

We, at Re-Type, were pleasantly surprised to find the guide using our font family ‘Kurversbrug‘ (the Amsterdam’s bridges revival) for its cover and titles. As admirers of the Amsterdamse School movement, we are honoured to take part in this great little book. Many thanks to Barlock and Museum Het Schip.
