- as of late I have come to realise that he
is extremely amazing.
Born in Czechoslovakia, lives in the Netherlands;
worked at Studio Dumbar, before started a design
studio in The Hague, Netherlands, where he works
in the field of editorial, graphic and type design,
combined with part time teaching at the Royal Academy
of Arts in the Hague; in 1999 started Typotheque type
foundry, in 2000 founded, edited and designed art &
design journal DOT DOT DOT; in 2009 co-founded Indian
Type Foundry, now writing for various design related
magazines; and collaborating on creation of modern
dance performances.
As a typographer, it is important for Bil'ak to effectively
promote his own work. At the top right of the web page
You are given an option to change the type set to different
typefaces that Bil'ak himself has designed. The type on the
whole page changes to the one the viewer has chosen- not
forgetting the obvious like the change in leading and
pointsize in relation to x-height. This is a truly beautiful
interface, and a graphic designers self- promotion at its
best. Well Bluddy done Peter!
