About
Released in 2020 to mark the centenary of Joan Trochut's birth, this collection extends Typerepublic's 2004 digitisation of the SuperVeloz modular printing system into 12 ready-made display styles. Styles are named after mid-century musical genres and range from solid and scratch cuts through wave and stripe variants, each offering alternate forms via stylistic sets. Won a Gold award at the European Design Awards 2021.
Classification
A modular display type system derived from Joan Trochut's mid-century SuperVeloz printing system, with ornamental and constructed letterforms intended for large expressive headlines rather than text setting.
