The first issue is dedicated to Highlife and its vital role in the struggle for independence and the creation of an African identity during the time of Kwame Nkrumah. It features an article by Dele Adeyemo, and a visual essay by Mirelle with images from the archive of the Tropenmuseum and KIT (Royal Tropical Institute).
Dele Adeyemo’s ‘The Modernizing Beat’ rereads the production of space in a modernizing Ghana through highlife, taking the modernist New Town and Tema Harbour as a case study about how the emergence of the ‘worksong’ has governed urbanization in Ghana.

Ellipsis after Closure
Designer: Nicha Keeratiphanthawong, Tabea Nixdorff
Pages: 132
Format: 160 x 220 mm mm
Price: € 24,00
“Ellipsis after Closure” is a 2020 Werkplaats Typografie End of the Year Show in book form by Nicha Keeratiphanthawong and Tabea Nixdorff, with mended hole contributions submitted by participants who took part in hole mending meditation workshops in 2020.
Following endless digital threads of information and being in constant touch with ‘hardware,’ it is easy to forget one’s bodily presence and situatedness. Weavings, just like computer coding, are complex automated nettings. Only the point of rupture—a dropped stitch, like a bug in the code, a systemic error—redirects the attention outside of the machine by requesting a manual intervention.
The book is printed with white ink on black paper, and stitched on a Singer sewing machine.

Arranging Flower Arranging – 2021 edition
Designer: Andrea Salerno, Yeliz Secerli
Pages: 160
Format: 197 x 275 mm mm
Price: € 35,00
Andrea: “In early 2018, I came back home with a book titled Flower Arranging, an illustrated home reference manual about floral decoration dated 1966. The book was printed in Holland, yet published almost simultaneously in Des Moines (1965) and Glasgow (1966). The volume appeared to be sold in a no-longer existing bookshop in Johannesburg, between Pritchard and Loveday Streets, and eventually travelled back to the Netherlands, where I found it in a charity shop not too far from my house. Soon afterwards I started rearranging its sequence of flower arrangements with the help of Yeliz Secerli.”

Nobody Remembers a Shapeshifter (WT reader)
Project by: Werkplaats Typografie
Designer: Mariana Lobão & Andrea Salerno
Pages: 288
Format: 155 x 210 mm mm
Price: € 20,00
ISBN 9789491003110
‘Nobody Remembers a Shapeshifter’ is simultaneously the title of a fashion show, the password to enter the show’s venue, and the title of this book. The fashion show that lacked a fashion collection served as an exhibition context for the participants of the Werkplaats Typografie. Each participant contributed to the expanded format of the fashion show, creating work that existed specifically within the support structure: from online platforms to wayfinding on the street, from coordinated services to spatial interventions, from the ferry dock to the catwalk.
This publication is an extension of the show, a premeditated afterthought expanding on the collective gesture and individual efforts of Andrea Salerno, Austin Redman, Darío Dezfuli, Frédérique Gagnon, Gerardo Madera, Hannah Sakai, Jannete Mark, Loes Claessens, Maria Smit, Mariana Lobão, Michelle Lin, Michiel Terpelle, Mirjam Reili, Miron Galić, Moriz Oberberger, Nicha Keeratiphanthawong, Rebecca Metzger, Sangah Shin, Sarah Cleeremans, Simona Koutná, Susan van Veen and Tabea Nixdorff.

Fehler lesen. Korrektur als Textproduktion
Designer: Tabea Nixdorff
Pages: 80
Format: 230 x 304 mm mm
Price: € 18,00
“Fehler lesen. Korrektur als Textproduktion” is an essay on textual errors and a personal quest to find them. Misprints demonstrate the vulnerability of a text. Here we catch a glimpse of the pre- and post-production phases, work that is to a large extent invisible. Thus, the juxtapositions of words that are printed and those that are intended (errata) reveal far more than a simple genealogy of wrong vs. right: they document vestiges of the work done in the shadows, the wrestling with language. Displacements, reconstructions, and lacunae become visible. In her essay Tabea tracks the social, linguistic, media, and poetic dimensions produced by correction and textual criticism. Who does the correcting and what traces does this mostly invisible work leave behind? What shifts in meaning do mistakes trigger? To what extent does the medium play a part in authoring the text. “Fehler lesen. Korrektur als Textproduktion” appears as part of the Applied Publishing Studies series.

From Passive to Active: earplug-shaped anti-stress ball
Designer: Sangah Shin
Format: 90 x 90 x 120 mm mm
Price: € 13,00
‘Focus on softness: squeeze your hand, manipulate with your fingers, release tension and relax your body. Your body is ready to face the outside world again. ‘
When human beings were born as babies, our bodies were the most malleable. Our bodies react to invisible outside forces, which often cause our bodies to tense up and physically clench. To deal with these external pressures, we need another malleability that can be an extension of our bodies: an earplug, an everyday object which is soft, small and colorful, that is willing to adapt to our bodies and block external influences. By scaling up the malleable property of an earplug to a hand-held size, this earplug shaped anti-stress ball changes the relationship between our bodies and outside pressure from passive blocking to active release.

WT reader: Octopus of Offshoots
Project by: Werkplaats Typografie
Designer: Adriaan van Leuven, Oliver Boulton
Pages: 237
Format: 135 x 210 mm mm
Price: € 17,00
This reader culminates a year of activity under the umbrella of WT Speelplaats.
As the custodians of year 19, — Adriaan Van Leuven and Oliver Boulton — proposed a way of working through imitation. Be it a method, model or base; by adopting the action(s) of someone or something. Imitation, not so much in the aspect of ‘copying’, but in the idea of chewing, digesting and regurgitating an existing thing. Imitation, as something we do naturally, as a pedagogy; a process of learning. Imitation, as a coming inhale, exhale. Imitation as a means to reflect, detangle and recognise our surroundings, times, contemporaries, idols. Imitation as a way to embrace or confront one’s swamped reference pool. Imitation, as an open question, put to ourselves and our colleagues: how do you find your voice? At which point Kathy Acker yelled back at us: “Why [do] I have to find my own voice and where [is] it?”

Music heard so deeply that it is not hurt at all. You were the music while the music lasts insist on beauty in spite of everything decorum. As I’m walking I see you on your motorbike. I could see your blue eyes and nose peering underneath the crash helmet. It’s not you. It’s just a man that looks like you. I’m disappointed every time every time I see a man on a motorbike. I think it’s my dad. I’m not sure why this is. Sometimes I forget what your bike looks like. Everyone’s eyes and faces look the same underneath black crash ominous. From a distance everyone looks like you. (4)
I still believe in your eyes. I just don’t care what you’ve done in your life. Baby, I’ll always be here by your side. Don’t leave me waiting too long, please come by. (e)

Supersize #2: book
Designer: Moriz Oberberger in collaboration with the Mexican streetwear brand Pay’s
Pages: 128
Format: 148 x 210 mm mm
Price: € 20,00
This is the second iteration of a series of very large drawings translated into three different formats; a book, a sweater and a mural. It’s the outcome of personal observations and stereotypical representations of the ordinary daily life in Mexico. It was first drawn on a sheet of paper, then, resized and decomposed into a book. After that a detail was taken out for the sweaters and it was reunited again for the mural. Enlarging the drawing into a super size is a method that aims to unveil the truth between the stereotypes and reality, similar to a magnifying glass that allows us to discover the truthful nature of the object we are looking at.

Willem Sandberg. Portrait of an Artist
Project by: Ank Leeuw Marcar, Valiz, Amsterdam, Werkplaats Typografie
Designer: Rutger de Vries
Pages: 327
Format: 151 x 210 mm mm
Price: € 20,00
The famous Dutch typographer and museum curator Willem Sandberg is portrayed by art historian Ank Leeuw Marcar through interviews compiled more than 30 years ago. Particularly focusing on the period from 1945-1970, during which Sandberg was quite active and passionate in both typographic forms and as director of Amsterdam’s Stedelijk Museum, this thoroughly edited reprint of the original book closely examines his legacy and influence, its cultural aspects and roles of art historians and curators. His approaches to these topics remain relevant and challenging even today, offering new impulse in the discourse surrounding art and its place in an historic perspective.

Format: 170 x 235 mm mm
ISBN: 978-9080818576
Year: 2006
Price: € 25,00
Ten WT participants asked an equal number of Dutch graphic designers to join forces with them during their work period for the Chaumont Graphic Arts Festival in the summer of 2005. ‘Dutch Resource’ is a report of that collaboration; in ten different sections, each person’s working method becomes apparent and we are shown how the dialogue was put into effect. The book gives an accurate picture of the uncompromising practice of today’s graphic designer, a specialist and jack-of-all trades in one, who is not only meant to be a good designer but often works as a writer, researcher, editor, curator, critic and photographer as well. It shows work from: Lust, Mevis & Van Deursen, Julia Born, Roma Publications, Irma Boom, Maureen Mooren & Daniël van der Velden, Stuart Bailey, Will Holder, Experimental Jetset & Jop van Bennekom.
