Samuel Salminen (1996, FI) is an Amsterdam based graphic and information designer and researcher.

In his practice he investigates the relationship between language, power, and spatial representation — using typography and design as tools to expose and intervene in systems of control, erasure and territorial inscription. His work spans editorial design, type design and web development, and is often situated at the intersection of the political and the typographic.

Hieronimus — A Study of French Renaissance Type

2021 — type

By Barbara Strzeżek, Lara Dautun & Samuel Salminen
under guidance of Dr. Frank E. Blokland

Revival of Renaissance types by Pierre Haultin and Francois Guyot. The source material for this work was De l'institution, usage et doctrine du sainct sacrament, published by Ph. de Mornay (La Rochelle, H. Haultin, 1598). The project included two styles; a roman lowercase derived from Guyot's Double-Pica (Ascendonica, Gros-parangon) (1544), most likely punched by a La Rochelle punch-cutter, paired with capitals of La Rochelle Double-Pica Roman by Haultin (1598) and Guyot's Double-Pica (Ascendonica, Gros-parangon) Italic (1557).
