Identity

Explore over a century of Czech graphic design and typography in this volume edited by design theorist Linda Kudrnovská, which serves as a contemporary record of the exploration of a cultural community living in this politically, socially, and visually turbulent region of Central Europe. The book examines the field of graphic design and typography through the prism of today’s understanding of quality, yet does not aspire to be a universal arbiter of taste, nor attempt to define an ideal connection between visual form and content. Chapters on public space, the everyday, nationhood and propaganda, media, book culture, and beyond borders shape its comprehensive exploration.
