After World War II, the Communist regime behind the Iron Curtain struggled to provide enough textiles and clothing for its people. Industrial recovery in Czechoslovakia lagged behind Western Europe, yet people were still inspired by Western fashion until the Soviet occupation in 1969, when life became more restrictive. During this period, when new styles were hard to come by, magazines like Žena a život or Praktická žena offered patterns for making garments at home. Móda seeks to illustrate this time, highlighting gestures, costumes, and clothes sewn by today’s mothers and grandmothers.<br /> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: left">Cover: Offset, 877C + Black, Chromolux 220 g<br /> Inside: Digital, CMYK, Offset 70 g<br /> Size: 34 x 25,5 cm — Size of the original magazines from which the content had been scanned. <br /> </div> https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/L2143231379524910412319825442000/29_Drawing_X.jpg <div style="text-align: left">Behind the State Capitol<br /> <br /> Drawn on A2 sheets, later scanned and digitally reprinted in the original size</div> https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/B2143232718703189931412144108752/22_Stravastraat_Scan.jpeg <div style="text-align: left">Stravastraat typeface in use<br /><br />Designed and drawn with Una Maria Magnusdottir.

Saugerties, New York, Saturday October 5th<br /> Publication, Letter Size, CMYK, 250 Pages, Perfect Bound<br /> <br /> 'Dear Amelia' is a series of letters written by Tomáš Hlava in 2024 to a typeface designed by Stanley Davis in 1963. Named Amelia, after his first-born daughter, it was submitted for the VGC Phototypesetting competition in 1965 and selected as the winning typeface; this is how the world got to know her for the first time.<br /> <br /> Given the context of the time, the new technology of phototypesetting, and the blurred boundaries of censorship in the type design field, Amelia's strokes were copied and resold by other type foundries. Davis didn't know his typeface had been published until he saw a TV promo for the film Yellow Submarine. “That was a double whammy for an avid Beatle fan,” Davis said. “Bitstream and Linotype stole my Amelia,” he added in a rare interview in 2002.<br /> <br />Since 2018, Hlava has been encountering and uncovering the mystery Amelia is wrapped in. Dear Amelia' is an attempt to (re)connect these personal and typographic histories through the epistolary form. In these letters he describes how people got to see Amelia for the first time, the plagiarism the type foundries committed, his first encounters with Amelia in the Czech Mountains, and the moment he got to know her name. Later, he writes about the moment he decided to go to the place where Stanley Davis lived, Saugerties in upstate New York. There, through a series of coincidences, Amelia the typeface and Amelia the person begin to blur. Did he find her, is she alive, and does she know anything about this?</div> https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/F2164330091094136527079256470736/TomasHlavaTypefaces.jpg <div style="text-align: left">Typefaces<br /> Drawn, 2020—2024<br /> <br /> From left to right: Times, Gefko, Korbik, Korbik Raw, NIA, Roof Lines, Roof, Majorca, Stravastraat, Potatoe Typeface, Woodstock, YELLOW, Floorplan, Amelia Regular, Brighton, Bug Amp Horizontal, Bug Amp Vercal, Bug </div> https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/L2164338556987521483119746462928/StanFree.jpg <div style="text-align: left">StanFree, Typeface<br /> Revival<br /> <br /> Yale School of Art, New Haven, CT, 2024 </div> https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/H2164415504352244749615141074128/HousingClinic_FrontCover.jpg <div style="text-align: left">Housing Connectitut: Designing Healthy and Sustainable Neighborhoods, Yale School of Architecture, Yale School of Management, Yale Law School<br /> <br />Offset, 16,5 x 21,5 cm, 200 Pages, CMYK, Thread Sewn, 500 Copies, Munken Print White 80 g, Cottage 220 g<br /> <br /> New Haven, CT, USA, 2024 </div> https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/R2164415504518265446278527038672/HousingClinic_Complete.jpg <div style="text-align: left">Housing Connectitut: Designing Healthy and Sustainable Neighborhoods, Yale School of Architecture, Yale School of Management, Yale Law School<br /> <br />Offset, 16,5 x 21,5 cm, 200 Pages, CMYK, Thread Sewn, 500 Copies, Munken Print White 80 g, Cottage 220 g<br /> <br />New Haven, CT, USA, 2024</div> https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/Y2164438460513587741908906915024/GRA_Majorca_Typeface.jpg <div style="text-align: left">Majorca<br /> Custom typeface drawn for the Gerrit Rietveld Academie Graduation Show Identity 2023<br /> <br /> Amsterdam, The Netherlands, 2023 </div> https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/A2164447566619672520113095292112/KobrikRaw.gif <div style="text-align: left">Korbik Raw<br /> Typeface, Drawn in 2020 </div> https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/P2164457694878293166637248263376/BugNap.gif <div style="text-align: left">Bug Nap, Typeface<br /> Designed for horizontal writing only<br /> Amsterdam, 2022 </div> https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/D2165672574107856424464095229136/Woodstock_Typeface.gif <div style="text-align: left">Woodstock Typeface, Selected Letters<br /> <br /> Designed for Turning History Online Identity<br /> Prague, Czech Republic, 2022 </div> https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/Q2165685372901616621920035648720/AmeliaSpecimen.jpg <div style="text-align: left">Amelia Regular<br /> <br /> Specimen, Yale School of Art, 2023 </div> https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/G2165720578586468272894132991184/catalogue.tomashlava.com-2.mp4 <div style="text-align: left">library.tomashlava.com<br /> Personal Catalogue </div> https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/E2165734598886727543249162319056/Brighton_Typeface.gif <div style="text-align: left">Brighton Typeface<br /> <br /> “The air marker is one of the simplest and least expensive aids to air navigation in common use in the United States, but it is at the same time one of the most effective and necessary, particularly so far as the private or itinerant flyer is concerned.”<br /> <br /> Digitalised from U.
