FontShop’s new 2008 agenda
We are expecting a shipment of the brand spanking new FontShop 2008 calendar cum sketchbook by Neville Brody’s Research Studios. It was designed by Luke Prowse, who kindly sent me some images and background information.


First inside page
It’s essentially a calendar cum sketchbook, in which Luke also commissioned an article by Marcus McCallion (now Leis Allion, type designer at Barnbrook Studios) that concludes the book.


Spread from the calendar section
The book is 11cm x 15cm, fitting a 1cm grid. Luke abstracted the 1cm into an em square, and extracted the cap, x, asc, desc height of 43 FF types, one for each page. Using these measurements, a unique sub-grid was drawn (by the miracle of programming) into the base 1cm grid on each page, and the type overlaid onto this in the top right corner, thus fitting the grid perfectly.

Each spread features one font, when read one after the other reveals a little type narrative, and there’s also a quote on each page from various luminaries. It is gently peppered with illustrations by Luke himself and the team at Research Studios.


Spread from sketchbook section
The book is 120 pages; it has a subtle clearfoil-blocked cover, two kinds of stock, a pouch in the back for nick-nacks, and a band to flick at people you don’t like. We will keep you posted and notify you when it is available and how you can get hold of a copy.

Do you have a spread of the weekview where you put your notes. I would use it for school and some space for notes would be nice. At the moment I use an A4-size agenda which works fine, it's just I like this one better. Btw. I can't edit text in the comment box directly, none of the keys work, I post this pasting from of 'text edit', my browser is Safari
