Typographic Lecture by Dejan Mraović - Thursday, 29 May 2014

                            Mraović’s typographic presentation consists of three parts:
1. History of Typography on Serbian and Yugoslav Dinars
2. Sans-Serif Latin and Cyrillic font Serbiana
3. Book Abandoned


The first part of Mraović’s lecture celebrates typography and iconography on Serbian coins and
banknotes from 1230 until today. Mraović started this research at Ohio University in Athens, Ohio as a part
of his MFA thesis. In order to better understand the previous designs of money in his country, he collaborated
with the National Bank of Serbia in Belgrade, the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts, Belgrade, the National Museum, Belgrade and ten other state museums from Serbia and Bosnia - Herzegovina.


The second part of the lecture is devoted to a completely new, sans-serif font "Serbiana" that Mraović designed
as a measure of protection for the new series of dinars. Serbian is the only language in the world that uses both
the Latin and Cyrillic alphabet; he worked on both alphabets for this project. Whether the word is written in Serbian, or in English, in Latin or in Cyrillic alphabet, the visual unity of his font stays unchangeable.


Mraović will present his manually produced book "Abandoned" in the third part of his artist’s talk. This artwork
is devoted to recent Yugoslav history, currency and economic standard. Abandoned is an combination of typography, bookbinding, and humor.
