proportions.
The juxtaposition of the balance inherent in sans-serif
letterforms and the notion of text being affected by the
laws of gravity is a central theme of Labil Grotesk,
KOMETA’s debut release.
The origin of Labil Grotesk goes back to a typeface
done as a master’s thesis project nominated for Czech
National Award for Student Design 2016. Encouraged by
the reception, Christian Jánský set out to remaster the
whole family which is now available for licensing in both
Upright and Italic across eight weights—sixteen styles
total.

The Leaning Tower of Pisa is the
campanile, or freestanding bell tower,
of the cathedral of the Italian city of

aa
Pisa, known worldwide for its nearly
four-degree lean, the result of an
unstable foundation. The tower is
situated behind the Pisa Cathedral and
is the third-oldest structure in the
city’s Cathedral Square (Piazza del
Duomo), after the cathedral and the
Pisa Baptistry. The tower began to lean
during construction in the 12th century,
due to soft ground which could not
properly support the structure’s

RgU
weight, and it worsened through the
completion of construction in the 14th
century.

Stracciatella is a variety of gelato, consisting of milk-based ice
cream filled with fine, irregular shavings of chocolate. It was
originally created in Bergamo, northern Italy, at the Ristorante La
Marianna in 1961. It was inspired by stracciatella soup, made from
egg and broth, which is popular around Rome. It is one of the most
renowned Italian gelato flavours. Makers produce the effect by
drizzling melted chocolate into plain milk ice cream towards the
