Cover for issue 7/1966 of Typografia, the technical journal of Czechoslovak printers.

The design is by Oldrich Hlavsa (1909–1995) who contributed cover designs to the periodical already in the 1930s. For the one shown here, Hlavsa arranged the letters of the title in five lines, working with caps from a display cut of Times New Roman and utilizing repeating glyphs and the crop-and-repeat technique. The small text at the top is set in italic and bold styles from Empiriana Antikva, Grafotechna’s version of ATF’s Bodoni.
