Sobre a família


Adhesive Nr. Eight was developed as a streamlined variation of the heavily textured Adhesive Nr. Seven blackletter font, responding to frequent requests for a clean, minimalist version.

The foundation remains unchanged: adhesive tape construction, drawing on the Fraktur majuscules of Tannenberg Fett and the minuscules of Roberts Koch’s Schmale Deutsche Anzeigenschrift. In this reinterpretation, hard-to-read letters by modern standards (F, H, K, Z, k, long s, x, y, z) were reshaped with influences from grotesque typefaces. This transformation also makes the font uniquely suited for uses where blackletter typefaces typically fail — such as setting text in all capital letters.

With its neutral, refined aesthetic, Adhesive Nr. Eight expands its versatility across a broader range of applications while staying true to the distinctive „Adhesive methodology“.

Adhesive Nr. Eight

Sobre phospho

Located in a central district of Vienna, Austria, Roland Hörmann runs phospho; a studio that specializes in both graphic and type design. “I am always excited about graphic design jobs where I can bring in my lettering skills as a type designer,” Roland says. “My fascination for type undoubtedly came from my father’s Letraset catalogues, which I loved tracing letters in as a kid.” In the early Nineties, long before he had decided to study graphic design, Roland began to dabble in type design and created a handful of experimental pixel fonts on the Commodore 64. It wasn’t until 2007, though, that he made his first serious attempts at type design, and in the following year, he published his first typeface, Adhesive Nr. Seven. Since then, he’s seen great success with standout designs like Luxus Brut, a timeless design that breathes the spirit of hand lettered signage of the 1950’s, and Gloss Drop, a wild, hand-lettered typeface that pulses with the spontaneous vibrancy of brush lettering. Roland works alongside Felix Auer, an associated designer who had a hand in creating phospho’s all-caps, display font Aquus. The secret to Roland Hörmann’s success may be his passion project Stadtschrift: an association for the collection, preservation and documentation of historic façade signs. “We save unique signs from being scrapped and put them on display in the public again. So there is a big love for ancient shop signage and their typefaces, and the inspiration I draw from the heritage of the city makes phospho a heartfelt Viennese foundry.”
