Initials

Typography

Casa Rex

A modular font comprised of three sets of the standard western alphabet of 26 letters. The font presents a contemporary take on illuminated historical initials which brings them into the 21st century. Each letter, as its medieval predecessor, presents a visual narrative, but, instead of biblical scenes, it depicts pictures of traffic jams, fast food, weapons and mobile phones – an ironic, but incisive, portrait of our era.

iF Gold Statement

The jury appreciates the ambition and the historic idea of transferring illuminated letters in a very original manner into the present. The hidden humor in these modern pictograms, the depth of the work as well as the obvious passion for the project are absolutely convincing.
