For the third year in a row, Mota Italic is hosting the biggest Typo Berlin pre-party and exhibition opening evening.
This Wednesday from 18:00 till late, come by Mota Italic to check out the new exhibition »Word Jazz«, meet the artist Dru Brennan, meet not only the Berlin type crowd, but also many international typoholics visiting from all over the globe.
Interested at trying your hand at some Cyrillic type design? Want to understand better the history and way of writing the fourth most used alphabet in the world? Need some first hand, highly personalized first-hand advise and instruction from a talented native Cyrillic designer?
Next weekend, April 20 & 21st, Alexei Vanyashin will present an intensive 2 day workshop on Cyrillic type design here in Berlin. At only €90 for the two days, the workshop is a real bargain. But space is limited to only 8 people, so good luck getting a spot!
Fresh from Poland, Fajrant – Ala has a pen, chronicals the 20 resulting typefaces from a long-term type workshop in Katowice.
Friday, April 12th from 18:00 is the exhibition opening at Mota Italic. Come by, check out the typefaces, sip some wine, and debate the current state of type design and education.
Coming to Mota Italic tomorrow, the dynamic duo of Martina Flor and Giuseppe Salerno will show their first complete alphabet after three months of gruilling battles.
The opening is from 7pm with a short talk by Martina and Giuseppe at 7:30.

From Mota Italic:
Our exhibition/project for January and February was a look at Rob’s process of type design. In Progress shows the steps, iterations, and methodologies of how this specific project unfolded.
This Saturday, Feb 23rd we will celebrate the conclusion of In Progress with a Finissage and Fip font release party. Come by, check out how far the project progressed, and toast with some wine to the release of this new font family!
We’ll also be holding a drawing for fonts during the party. Everyone wins something: either free fonts or huge discounts!
The party will be 6-10pm.
Shoko Mugikura of Just Another Foundry teamed has kindly organised a Japanese calligraphy workshop by Keiko Shimoda to be held here at Mota Italic!
Well, it’s not quite a finissage, or end of the year party, or holiday party… it’s just one last event at Mota Italic for 2012.
Fellow typographic comrade Alexei Vanyashin is visiting Berlin and offered to share with us his talk titled “Why do we (still) use Cyrillic?”. As seen at the TypoLublin conference a few days ago, this impromptu talk will enlighten you about modern Cyrillic and it’s continuing importance.
New exhibition at Mota Italic:
Mister K & Franz Kafka
A storytelling writer and his storytelling handwriting.
An installation of the typeface Mister K.
Open now through October 27th.
Opening Party: This Friday, September 21st from 18:00
Mota Italic opened its physical gallery and storefront the day before TYPO Berlin 2011 and the dual opening party and TYPO pre-party was one of Berlin’s typographic highlights of the year.

Cheers!
