A stylish book about a mundane topic is clear and modern as suits the subject. Design in both pictures and advice is pleasing and calm, tidy as the title suggests. Unfortunately the typeface size is irritatingly small, even though there would have been space available.

Art as We Don’t Know It

- Printed and bound by Printon AS
- Paper Galerie Art Volume 135 g/m2
- Typeface GT America, Meek Display, Warnock
The wide visual variety on this book about bioart has been brought together via sensible layout, airy typesetting and an unexpected additional colour joining together the parts. Repeating beauty of foil print, bravely used even with small type, has succeeded perfectly. Mystical cover, lilac calico back and endpages supplement the trim appearance.

The visual style of this standalone textbook published in connection with Amos Rex’ exhibition Egypt of Glory follows the design of the exhibition, also by Dog Design. The same modern Egyptian characters delight here, too. Between the pictorial and the literary is a fine contrast, finalised by skillful typography.

The impressive glass and ceramics collection of Commercial Counsellor Kyösti Kakkonen has been sturdily packed together in six large volumes weighing all combined over 15 kilograms. No resource has been spared, and the materials are of good quality and aesthetically pleasing. A special, angled font family has been created for the book, Kakkonen Sans and Kakkonen Craft. Covers of the series form an uniform entity. Both text and pictures continue boldly over the spread, which has on occasion led to parts of elements on inside margin disappearing in the spine.

Book is an uniform entity created with meticulous care and both its form and choice of materials successfully reflect the content. Paper used on book block has an especially beautiful shade, unfortunately the paper is annoyingly transparent. Skillful typography and polished layout in shades of powder create a fine bridge to the period in question.
