Mayelana ne-A is van Os Incwadi

U-A is van Os yincwadi emayelana nomlando wezinhlamvu zombhalo wesi-Latin. Le ncwadi ikhombisa ukuthuthukiswa kwesihlamvu ngasinye ezikhathini ezine emlandweni. Izinguquko zidwetshwe ngemigqa ecacile nemibala ekhanyayo, ngakho ukuguqulwa ngakunye kulula ukukulandela. Zonke izimo zezinhlamvu zoqobo zaqoshwa ngesandla etsheni futhi zathwetshulwa, njengenkomba yezinhlamvu zokuqala ezasikwa edwaleni. Isembozo esiqinile siphethe isithombe setshe esiqedwe ngokusagcwaliswa kwegilaveli, okwenza ukuthi indawo ithintwe. Incwadi ilinganisa amamilimitha angama-240 nangama-240.

Izici Ezihlukile: A is van Os shows the development of each letter in four time periods in history. The changes are visualised in bright colours so they are easy to follow. Since the first letters were cut in stone, Autobahn hand carved all original letterforms in stone as a visual reference. The stone on the cover of the book is finished with a gravel coating so it becomes tactile. Besides the book Autobahn designed 3 typefaces which are free for download and can be used to send secret messages to friends in earlier forms of the alphabet.

Inselele Yokudweba: To show this transition of the alphabet, Autobahn visualised the transformation for each letter with clear lines and color differences. Through this method, readers can easily follow the transformations, see how the letter developed and still see where it originated from. This aspect makes the book unique in its sort.
Ucwaningo: Our alphabet has changed considerably over time. In short, it began 4,000 years ago with images carved into rock in the Sinai desert. This script (called Proto-Sinaitic) was adopted and modified by the neighboring Phoenicians (around 1500 BC). The Phoenicians were seafaring folk and granted the alphabet to the Greeks (around 800 BC); which made trading far easier. The Greeks slightly adapted the letter forms before handing them on to the Romans, who completed the alphabet. And it's this alphabet that we, in the Western world, still use today.
Ugqozi: The initiative originated from the work ethos of Autobahn: text is image. Designer Rob Stolte was fascinated by the way his son was learning to write and would get him to copy the alphabet. A four year old's spatial insight is far from developed. They tend to write in different sizes, mirrored and upside down. It was during this process that Stolte recognised a number of alphabetical primordial forms. From there, he decided to design a series of objects explaining the history of our alphabet.
Ubude Bephrojekthi: The project started in 2016 and was published in 2018 in Dutch. It was exhibited at the 65th Type Directors Club New York in 12 countries, received a Golden European Design Award and was nominated for a D&AD award and a Dutch Creativity award. The book is translated into French in 2020 and in English in 2021 (Q4).
Ukuhamba Kokusebenza: Text and image are insightful, worth knowing and in an appealing, hyper-hip style for kids; bright blue and almost fluorescent orange-red.
Design, drawings and text are coherent and consistent, this entire book exudes the basic principle of the often awarded Autobahn: text is image. A wonderful book for all children and others who love letters, history and design.
