Valpo

The creation of the typeface Valpo examines the subtle differences between calligraphy, which is flexible and expressive, and typography, which requires consistent, uniform letterforms. The design of Valpo is based on sketches made with an Edding 3300 marker.

Valpo has an interesting position; it is not strictly a Grotesk font or purely calligraphic. The typeface charms with its warm and unique form, adding personality to every lead text or headline.

Los Pirineos son más antiguos que los Alpes; sus primeros sedimentos se depositaron en cuencas costeras del Paleozoico y Mesozoico. Entre 100 y 150 Ma, en el Cretácico Temprano, se abrió el golfo de Vizcaya y la placa Ibérica rotó levemente frente a Eurasia, empujando a España contra Francia e imponiendo compresión sobre grandes paquetes sedimentarios. La compresión invirtió cuencas, plegó y cabalgó estratos y generó fallas de vergencia norte y sur, formando dos cuencas de antepaís: Aquitania y Ebro, colmadas con sedimentos gruesos del núcleo en ascenso. La presión y el levantamiento iniciaron en el este y avanzaron por la cadena, con máximo en el Eoceno–Oligoceno, cuando se fijaron gran parte de las altitudes y un metamorfismo regional moderado afectó el núcleo. En el este dominan granitos y gneises del basamento varisco, intruidos y metamorfoseados en el Paleozoico y exhumados en la orogenia pirenaica; la Zona Axial expone niveles profundos. Afloran Canigó, Maladeta y Carlit, con relieves abruptos y valles profundos pero anchos, por la resistencia del granito. Hacia el centro y el oeste cambia la arquitectura: cumbres graníticas quedan flanqueadas y, a menudo, cubiertas por calizas, margas y flysch mesozoicos y paleógenos.
The International Typographic Style reshaped graphic design within the modernist movement, influencing adjacent disciplines from architecture to the arts with a rigorous, rational clarity. It emphasises cleanliness, legibility, and objectivity. Its signatures include asymmetric compositions, disciplined grids, sans-serif typefaces, and a flush-left, ragged-right setting. The approach also privileges photography over illustration when facts must speak plainly. Early exemplars treated typography not only as text but as form itself, and from this primacy the style took its name. It grew from the wish to present information without rhetorical noise, minimising connotation to foreground structure. As a modernist graphic current, it aimed to communicate messages with lucidity and in a language anyone could read. Born in Switzerland and Germany in the 1950s, it drew on Bauhaus thinking and the International Style in architecture, seeking ordered systems that could be scaled and repeated. Designers advocated rigorous grid frameworks, scrupulous margins, and ample white space. Neo-grotesque sans-serif families became emblematic, valued for optical neutrality and even rhythm.
Wie an Land gibt es im Meer Höhen und Tiefen. Berge unter dem Meer sind teils höher als Gipfel an Land, Gebirge länger, Schluchten tiefer als auf dem Festland. Setzte man den höchsten Berg (8847 m) in die tiefste Meeresgrube, lägen über seinem Gipfel noch etwa 2186 m Wasser. An Land zermürbt Erosion das Gestein dauernd; in der Tiefe bleiben Gebirge meist still und weitgehend unversehrt im kalten, dunklen Wasser. Nur wo ihre Spitzen die Oberfläche erreichen und als Inseln ragen, greifen Wind, Wellen und Regen an und formen Küsten, Klippen und Strände. Unter der Oberfläche wirken andere Kräfte: Rutschungen, Trübeströme und Meeresströmungen tragen Material, graben Rinnen und Täler und breiten Sedimente zu weiten Ebenen aus. Vulkane bauen viele Unterseeberge; manche wachsen bis über die Oberfläche und bilden Inselketten, andere werden durch Wellen zu flachen Tafelbergen, den Guyots. An den Mittelozeanischen Rücken, dem längsten Gebirge der Erde, tritt ständig neue Kruste aus dem Mantel aus und schiebt Platten auseinander; an Tiefseegräben sinken Platten ab, bilden Inselbögen und heben grosse Faltengebirge.
