It has been an absolute pleasure sifting through portfolio after portfolio when giving out invitations to Designspiration because I know eventually I’ll stumble across gems like here. These two projects were by Matthijs van Leeuwen; they stood out immediately because of the nicely set bold type. The first project here was a book design for those who attended the Dutch Democratic Party D66 brainstorm-dinners. I’m unsure of exactly what D66 is, but I’d definitely snatch up this piece if it were given out.
Hit the jump to check out a second project: an annual report for Brunel in 2008. Once again an interesting treatment of the type across the spread.
What is the typeface used here? Anyone have any ideas.
On the D66 project it looks to be Helvetica Neue and in the Annual Report it looks like Akzidenz Grotesk.
love this minimalist typography work. Really nice. I think it could be Uinvers nim – well maybe!
The typeface looks like Univers. I find myself liking it much more than Helvetica.
Nice work, but kerning needs some work.
Great name…Ivar Manuel.
Reminds me of Seymour Butts, Drew Peacock, Emma Royds et al.
Absolutely stunning. Lovely work. This is the reason why I am learning dutch.
Hey Joey no need it is all in English! :-)
