Gratuitous Type

posted by Anna Chayasatit December 20, 2013

Gratuitous Type is an annual pamphlet for typographic smut. It is a creation of Elana Schlenker, a NY-based designer who specialises in printed matter, corporate identities and packaging design, who decided to publish Gratuitous Type in 2011 with an aim to promote creative projects by design experts from all corners of the globe.

Includes in its latest volume, Issue C-Color, which came out earlier in autumn, are conversations with Bendita Gloria, a graphic studio in Barcelona, our favourite publishing house, Hato Press, and the work of Marine Duroselle which is featured right on the centrefold. This issue also comes with three risograph prints by Jordy van den Nieuwendijk produced exclusively for Gratuitous Type.
