Call for Type

28/01/2014

Cake Publishing just updated their webshop, making the IMPRINT Edition 01 available online.

The limited 12-inch vinyl record accompanied the IMPRINT Fair with five exclusively produced tracks, based on twenty-six experimental glyphs.

A range of international font designers and foundries were invited to experimentally address the topic of font design and contribute one of twenty-six glyphs. These glyphs were turned into various samples, which in return were used by a selection of musicians to produce the five tracks, that are featured on this edition.

Take a look!
