Happy New Year everyone!

2011 was a great (and busy) time for us at Mota Italic. We appreciate all of your support making it an unforgettable year! Here is a quick recap of some highlights in case you missed the news the first time around...

Earlier this year Škoda Auto unveiled their completely revamped corporate identity. We were fortunate to play a small role in this rebranding by providing a set of custom typefaces for use in several different key areas. 

A few images and comments about the design and setup of our latest installation.

For the final show of the year, we present Blacklecker: tasty fraktur. This exhibition is our biggest and best installation so far; you really must come visit if you are anywhere near Berlin! It’s up now and will run until we close for the end of the year holidays – until 18:00 on December 23rd.

We’d like to thank all the participating designers for sending in their 22 awesome blackletter inspired typefaces.

Rich Kegler is currently making a grande European tour screening his wonderful film Making Faces. He'll be in Berlin next week and we're celebrating with a special typoholic evening! Thursday September 8th come to The Downstairs Kino in Prenzlauer Berg to see the film, meet Rich, and hang with Berlin's hippest type nerds.

We are pleased to announce the imminent opening of our new studio/gallery/shop next week! Our new residence in Prenzlauer Berg, Berlin, gives us a unique space to curate and host a number of type-related exhibitions.

Our first show, CAPITAL: Berliner Buchstaben, features the work of 27 Berlin–based type designers as interpreted by 27 local illustrators/designers/artists. This exhibition celebrates not only some of the many talented creatives in Berlin, but also provides a snapshot of the current typographic and visual gestalt found here.
