The Diva Who Became An Alphabet
by Anna Franceschini and an accompanying video installation challenge Donner’s objectifying tendencies
The Diva Who Became An Alphabet sheds light on the intriguing and lesser-known history of how a dry transfer typeface inspired renowned type designer and art director Hans Donner (b. 1948), best known for his work with TV Globo, to discover the perfect typographic face in Brazil. The publication includes a type specimen presented in non-alphabetical order, highlighting the Diva’s many subtle features and stylistic nuances. A short story by Anna Franceschini and an accompanying video installation challenge Donner’s objectifying tendencies.
