Veronika Burian

Veronika Burian moved to Austria and Italy to work as a mix between a product and graphic designer. Her interests shifted increasingly towards typography and the decision to focus more exclusively on type design developed naturally, amongst others through her collaboration with Leftloft for the exhibition Italic 1.0 at AtypI and her involvement in teaching at the Politecnico of Milan. Discovering her true passion for type, she graduated with distinction from the MA in Typeface Design in Reading, UK, in 2003 and started to work as full-time type designer at DaltonMaag in South London until 2007.

She is now living and working in Prague and dedicates her time fully to TypeTogether, that she co-founded with José Scaglione. She also continues to lecture about typography at international conferences and universities. Her typeface Maiola that she created during the MA, received the TDC Certificate of Excellence in Type Design 2004, was selected in the Type Design competition from Creative Review 2005 and is part of the touring exhibition e-a-t. Karmina, the first collaborative work from TypeTogether, also won a merit at the ED-Awards competition 2007.

About Veronika Burian:

She was born in 1973 in Prague, Czechia. She is a type designer who studied industrial design in Munich and then worked as a product designer in Vienna and Milan. She soon discovered her true passion for typography and graduated with distinction from the MA in Typeface Design course in Reading, UK, in 2003. After a few year working as a typographer at DaltonMaag in London, Veronika founded TypeTogether with José Scaglione, one of the most crucial independent type foundries.

Above is a project by Veronika, "Maiola". It was published in 2005 with Fontshop and then in 2010 with TypeTogether. The typeface was inspired by early Czech type design, mainly by Vojtěch Preissig and Oldřich Menhart. Maiola is a contemporary typeface that is mindful of its historical heritage, implementing old-style features and calligraphic reminiscences, more frankly so in the italic. It won numerous awards, including the Type Directors Club Certificate of Typographic Excellence in 2004."

Agency Job Roles: Dalton Maag

One of our first mini tasks was to research job roles in the creative industry, it was really interesting to find out how a creative agency is run.

It seems that some of the most successful agencies have a split between design and operations, with dedicated account and operations managers, in order to allow the designers to simply design without having to manage their schedules and taxes etc. 

An example of an agency that works this way is Dalton Maag, I recently went to the Type Talk that they did, and it was really interesting to find out how their agency ran, and the fact that they had two distinct teams allowed it to run incredibly smoothly. 

Though it should be noted that Dalton Maag is a well established, high performing agency and therefore can easily justify a whole department of personnel who are non-design, many smaller agencies simply cannot afford that luxury and in that case the designers are left to organise the business side of the agency as well as the design side.

These three were chosen as examples of slab serifs. My interest in these fonts is how they can be ornate while also appearing clear and modern.

Any serif font I see immediately imparts an olden times vibe to me. These ones in particular, when the ornate loops are taken away, have that old European feel to me, but with the way they were designed and displayed, the serif fonts have been given a modern update. They are presented as clean and sort of minimal fashion. What resonates is just how simple but elegant these fonts look.
