Mitim
Radim Pesko · Radim Peško · 2005
A bespoke text serif built on triangular serifs, developed across eleven Greek-letter-named iterations for Dot Dot Dot magazine between 2005 and 2011.
About
Commissioned specifically for Dot Dot Dot magazine, Mitim evolved through eleven iterations from Alpha to Lambda, each redesigned in response to a new issue's context, theme and production conditions. The constant across all versions is the triangular serif structure and a semibold weight calibrated for reading at text sizes. Unavailable for licensing, it stands as one of the more rigorously documented examples of typeface design as a sustained editorial project.
Classification
A text serif built on a distinctive triangular (three-point) serif structure, designed at a semibold weight equivalent and calibrated for reading at text sizes. Developed as a bespoke commission for Dot Dot Dot magazine (issues 11–20), with each Greek-letter-named iteration (Alpha through Lambda) redesigned in direct response to a new issue's theme, context and production conditions. Not a conventional type release – an iterative typographic project sustained across a decade of editorial publishing. Not available for licensing. Type field: foundry.
