We are pleased to announce a new publication: Time to play. This publication focuses on the font Kermit, which we designed for Microsoft. This font was developed for kids, so it makes sense that this publication has a playful approach. In addition, Kermit is a writable font, with the time dimension designed and added to the font, which functions best if a play button is incorporated in the interface. In short: it’s time to play.

The publication consists of 3 different parts: an editorial where 3 articles place the genesis of Kermit in the context of historical and contemporary typographic developments. The articles are written by Rob McKaughan (Microsoft), Underware and Gerry Leonidas. In addition, there is a second section consisting of a traditional type specimen of the Kermit family. And there is a third part consisting of grammatographic anatomical illustrations. Each section is printed on a different type of paper, and these 120 pages are playfully mixed together by means of a clever imposition scheme. The whole edition was printed in 4 PMS colours, the cover fitted with an extra glossy silkscreen print, and all this was finished by means of a Swiss binding. You want to feel this tactile tickles in your hands. We have spared no expense to make this a playful publication.

The publication Time to play can be ordered from today via our website.
