Tesseract

Tesseract In Use

• 

  Tesseract in early use for the lastest issue of Wired Italia, a magazine about technology and lifestyle with art direction by Pitis e Associati.Issue n. 91 (winter 2019/2020) is titled “Visioni 2020”. Wired asked twelve photographers to show how the world is changing. The prologue to the features is by Jeremy Rifkin. Japanese artist Hiroto Hikeuchi contributed the cover image.Headlines are set in caps from Tesseract Display. Each of the features gets a different typographic treatment: Sliced words on sloping baselines for Preston Yarger’s “Post Acopalittico”, supersized caps interlaced with images for Brian Finke’s “Fenomeno Fortnite”, or letterforms of varying size hung on a line for Hiroto Hikeuchi’s “Cyber Funk”. The running heads at the bottom of the pages are set in Tesseract. The Text size of the typeface collection by Production Type is distinguished by a smaller x-height and a less pronounced stroke contrast.Pitis e Associati paired Tesseract with Exchange (Frere-Jones Type) as well as Atlas Grotesk and the monospaced Atlas Typewriter (Commercial Type) for text. The business supplement in tabloid format is dedicated to the changes in the world of energy. Headings, infographics, and drop caps in this section use ITC Motter Corpus.

  Bickerstaff developed a visual identity for Ostriv Khortytsia (Острів Хо́ртиця), the largest island in the River Dnieper, Ukraine. The project was jointly commissioned from the Office of the President of Ukraine, Metinvest Group, and BigCityLab.From our interview with designer Ksenia Milchenko:
  It wasn’t easy to find a relevant typeface — there is actually a broader problem with general scarcity of serifs supporting the Ukrainian language. Normally, people design new typefaces for projects like this. But we had neither time, nor resources. Tesseract is modern, and it fits very well in terms of image. It has quite sharp and strict forms, yet looks ‘nice’. Tesseract is easy to use — it doesn’t drag all the attention, well balanced with signs and graphics. We limited ourselves to its two styles: Light in the logo, ExtraLight for body text.I particularly like how elegant the typeface looks in the material. We printed posters using stencil in 5-6 layers of paint, with only two copies of each.
