Introducing LL Electa, a new typeface by Luca Pellegrini.

Here comes a typewritten love letter to the classic Pica-style typeface which came with many of the iconic Olivetti machines. Developed from the actual metal letters on the type bars of his vintage Olivetti Studio 42, Luca Pellegrini’s LL Electa offers a crisp, contemporary interpretation, balancing mechanical precision with sharpness and elegance. Precise yet warm, reminiscent of Olivetti’s legacy, but unmistakably new – the inherent poetry of mechanical machinery, captured for today’s technology.

LL Electa is available in three weights and six styles, and as variable fonts, each with matching Cameo version.

Indispensably yours, Lineto.com

LL Agip77 is free until Jan. 1 at Lineto.com. The third font in a series of design exercises, Agip77 playfully reflects the DNA of Lineto’s neo-grotesk superfamily, LL Unica77. Ten years after its release, Unica77 stands as the rightful heir to Switzerland’s post-war rational design, synthesizing the various advantages of the trinity that came to define 20th-century type: Helvetica, Univers, and Akzidenz Grotesk.

Make sure to equip yourself with the accurate traffic essentials. The publication “Tratex — A road sign alphabet in the making” traces the history of the Swedish Road signs alphabet from 1931 onwards. By the 1980s, a cohesive design system had been established, which remains largely in use today. For decades, the design internally did not have a formal name and the engineers responsible for drawing the letters had similarly been largely anonymous outside the Vägbyrån and Trafikbyrån government agency. This only changed when the alphabet was digitized and attributed to Karl-Gustaf Gustafson and Chester Bernsten.

Digitization both contributed to and distorted the history of the road sign alphabet. While Tratex gained wider recognition through online distribution, certain material and social aspects of the letterforms were obscured in their transformation into a digital typeface. As a result, the history of Tratex has remained fragmented. These are the circumstances that have prompted the present book, which explores the development of the alphabet before it was digitized.

Munken Paper @munkenpaper

Publication alert — Tratex, the alphabet designed for Swedish road signs, is a defining feature of the country’s public space. Its sober, geometric forms are woven into the everyday environment. Behind the seemingly neutral design lies a layered history that begins in 1931, when Sweden introduced its first road sign regulations. Over the following decades, the letters were repeatedly redrawn and adapted to new needs and production technologies. In 2002, the Swedish National Road Administration released the alphabet as a freely available digital font, allowing it to circulate far beyond the roadside, in everything from books to corporate identities. Digitization also altered how the alphabet’s history was understood, turning anonymous engineering work into attributed design while obscuring aspects of its material, institutional, and cultural context.

Drawing extensively on archival sources, this book traces the development of Tratex prior to its digital release and situates it within the broader technological and social transformations of twentieth-century Sweden – a society increasingly organized around the car. It also examines the criticism Tratex has faced over the years, along with the alternative alphabets proposed to replace it.

Initial research for this book had been undertaken over several years out of personal interest. It was through a project to design a new corporate typeface inspired by Swedish roadsigns for Munken Paper that the research took shape and eventually materialized into the present work. The project was commissioned by Björn Lux of the branding agency Juno and conceptualized by Laurenz Brunner, Jonas Williamsson, and Cornel Windlin. The resulting typeface, Munken Sans, was designed by Laurenz Brunner and Selina Bernet, and released in 2020 by Lineto. The research was conducted by Rikard Heberling and Jonas Williamsson.

Initial research for this book had been undertaken over several years out of personal interest. It was through a project to design a new corporate typeface inspired by Swedish roadsigns for Munken Paper that the research took shape and eventually materialized into the present work. The project was commissioned by Björn Lux of the branding agency Juno and conceptualized by Laurenz Brunner, Jonas Williamsson, and Cornel Windlin. The resulting typeface, Munken Sans, was designed by Laurenz Brunner and Selina Bernet, and released in 2020 by Lineto. The research was conducted by Rikard Heberling and Jonas Williamsson.

Publication alert — Tratex, the alphabet designed for Swedish road signs, is a defining feature of the country’s public space. Its sober, geometric forms are woven into the everyday environment. Behind the seemingly neutral design lies a layered history that begins in 1931, when Sweden introduced its first road sign regulations. Over the following decades, the letters were repeatedly redrawn and adapted to new needs and production technologies. In 2002, the Swedish National Road Administration released the alphabet as a freely available digital font, allowing it to circulate far beyond the roadside, in everything from books to corporate identities. Digitization also altered how the alphabet’s history was understood, turning anonymous engineering work into attributed design while obscuring aspects of its material, institutional, and cultural context.

Drawing extensively on archival sources, this book traces the development of Tratex prior to its digital release and situates it within the broader technological and social transformations of twentieth-century Sweden – a society increasingly organized around the car. It also examines the criticism Tratex has faced over the years, along with the alternative alphabets proposed to replace it.

LL Cyan and Cyan Mono
Writing instruction turned into letterforms

Born of a writing exercise in Jan Tschichold’s Schriftlehre, Handschriften und Skizzieren (Basel, 1942), LL Cyan is the latest typeface from Aurèle Sack @aurele_sack (LL Brown, Ivory, Grey). In creating what is a clear-minded and visually distinctive sans serif family, Aurèle brings Tschichold’s unusual source to its digital conclusion. Informed by the outstanding rhythm and playfulness of a school writing exercise, yet going above and beyond this, to become a typeface in its own right with 16 styles across two families: LL Cyan and Cyan Mono is available for purchase or trial download on Lineto.com.

LL Kleisch is a thoughtful and versatile typeface for text to display use. More than that, its the perfect companion to old-style CJK (Chinese/Japanese/Korean) Ming typefaces.

Next to the regular LL Kleisch family with six weights plus italics, the Kleisch Headline and Kleisch Display families offer improved contrast for use in large and extra-large sizes, respectively. To allow for perfect adjustment to various designs with Ming fonts, Kleisch also comes in a fully variable version: With axes for weight and contras that allow to minutely modify character shape and greytone to match a wide range of Ming designs in common use today.

A recent studio visit at @norm_zurich , the Zurich-based mas­ters of the super tight grid, finds them absorbed with put­ting Riforma Flex, the upcom­ing expans­ive vari­able elab­or­a­tion of their all-pur­pose LL Riforma, to exact­ing use in two sub­stan­tial book pro­jects cur­rently near­ing com­ple­tion.

LIVE EVIL is a com­pre­hens­ive new mono­graph about Arthur Jafa’s dec­ades-long work, reflect­ing on his sprawl­ing 2022 present­a­tion at LUMA Arles, and pub­lished by Verlag der Buch­hand­lung Walther und Franz König.

The second book is a full ret­ro­spect­ive of the oeuvre of Bernhard Mendes Bürgi, span­ning all 110 of the Swiss cur­ator’s exhib­i­tion pro­jects. It will be launched during the Zurich Art Week­end on 13 June at Kun­sthalle Zürich, where Bürgi was the found­ing dir­ector from 1989 until 2001.

While keep­ing its dis­tinct­ive qual­ity and formal purity, the Riforma Flex pro­ject is repos­i­tion­ing LL Riforma as a more ver­sat­ile design tool, allow­ing optimal fine-tuning in the most demand­ing of design envir­on­ments. Cur­rently going through exten­ded loops of draw­ing, using and re-draw­ing, it is expec­ted to be final­ised for a lib­rary release in Novem­ber 2025.

In the mean­time, please visit Lineto­mor­row for very advanced beta ver­sions of LL Riforma Flex. We expect to con­tinu­ously update files as pro­gress is being made.

Coin­cid­ent­ally, NORM are open­ing their exhib­i­tion Real Inten­tions, Fake Occur­rences at Galerie Nicola von Senger, Lim­mat­strasse 275, 8005 Zürich, on Friday, 28 March, from 7pm. Lines Sur­faces, a pub­lic­a­tion designed by NORM, accom­pan­ies the show and is avail­able at the gal­lery. The exhib­i­tion con­tin­ues through 17 May 2025.
