1977, FinlandTracing Kalevala -kirjake
Tracing Kalevala-kirjake is a study into a little known subject, a plan for a Finnish nationalistic typeface sketched by the artist Akseli Gallen-Kallela in the beginning of the twentieth century.
The story of Kalevala-kirjake is revealed by a research based on historical sources. What was the background behind Kalevala-kirjake and how did the project come to an end?
Furthermore, Kalevala-kirjake is brought into present day in a form of a new digital typeface based on Gallen-Kallela’s original sketches. The new font, named Joukahainen, is a composition of noble ideas of the past, principles of modern type design and the author’s own expression.
