and to wind up the monday…

probably just that extra little bit of love one needs everyday just arrived.

From Michel Wlassikoff, historian, writer of History of graphic design in France
and Alexandre Dumas de Rauly, graphic designer and researcher

Dear Paul Snowden,

We are preparing a book on the Futura typeface. Published by Norma (Paris),
it will come out in winter 2010/11.

It is a history of Futura, from its creation by Paul Renner and editing by the Bauer foundry,
up until today. This includes evolution in its design, its use as well as the reference it has
been for many typographers and graphic designers.

Keeping this in mind, we welcome materials, testimonies, thoughts and analysis of
contemporary creators throughout the world.
This is why we turn to you.

If you agree to contribute to our work, we will send you a detailed questionnaire
to understand the importance you attach to the Futura typeface and the use
you made of it in your creations.

We will also request your iconographical documents such as some works for
Bang Bang Berlin, for DJ Maxximus and the Bass the World Partys,
your Crystal exhibition (2006), for Boysnoise Records.

Thanking you in advance for your reply.

Sincerely.

Alexandre Dumas de Rauly
Michel Wlassikoff
