Agmena
DESIGN NOTES
Agmena possesses a sublimity and subtlety hard to find in most typefaces published in recent years. It shows that rare synthesis of calculated strategy, controlled accident, and honest expression that only comes with complete mastery.
The proportions here are exquisite, and the slight hardness and diversity of details give the impression of letters that were first cut in metal. The regular and book weights have many contemporary features, but wear a patina of maturity that makes them seem like they’ve been around for centuries. At times, the bold weights are reminiscent of the playful Galliard Black, with its clever distribution of planar shapes and characteristic ink traps. On top of it all, Agmena Regular contains my favorite lowercase ‘a’ of the year.
Jovica Veljović took his time designing Agmena, using it often in his own demanding practice and repeatedly effecting adjustments in form and fit before making it available to the public. In the design of typefaces, I can’t think of a better way to guarantee a superior result and the best possible functionality.
Agmena comes from decades of experience combined with an intuitive, extra-rational process, and stands as a sublime statement exuding the richness and complexity of a fine wine. Let the masses drink their soda! This typeface is for experienced designers accustomed to working above the ordinary. – Mark Jamra for typographica.org
PLAYGROUND
Der Geist liebt das Feste, Gestaltete, er will sich auf seine Zeichen verlassen können, er liebt das Seiende, nicht das Werdende, das Wirkliche und nicht das Mögliche. Er duldet nicht, daß ein Omega eine Schlange oder Vogel werde. In der Natur kann der Geist nicht leben, nur g e g e n sie, nur als ihr Gegenspiel. Glaubst du mir jetzt, Goldmund, daß du nie ein Gelehrter sein wirst?
