Type Tuesday: We love books
St Bride Foundation, Tuesday 5 March 2024 in the Bridewell Hall 7-9.30pm
Eye magazine hosts its first Type Tuesday of the year which will be all about books and book design. We will be joined by two amazing, Italian-born speakers – Luca Pitoni and Astrid Stavro. The evening will begin with a must-see presentation about Anita Klinz (1923-2013), ‘the first Italian art director’. Over two crucial decades at publisher Mondadori, Klinz transformed the look of Italian publishing. The forthcoming edition of Eye will feature an English-language article based on Ostinata Bellezza, Luca Pitoni’s book about Klinz’s life and work.
Based in Milan, Luca Pitoni is co-founder of the Italian editorial design studio Tomo Tomo. (see ‘Noise free’ in Eye 103. The studio redesigned the daily financial newspaper Il Sole 24 Ore and works with book publishers including Mondadori and the Touring Club Italiano. His recent book about book design legend Anita Klinz (1923-2013), is about to be adapted for an article in Eye 106 and (later in the year) an English-language edition for Thames & Hudson.
Astrid Stavro is an award-winning designer based in London. Prior to running Astrid Stavro Studio, she was a partner at Pentagram and a co-founder of the design agency Atlas (see Reputations in Eye 95). She is the President of the International Society of Typographic Designers (ISTD), Trustee at St. Bride Foundation and member of Alliance Graphique Internationale (AGI).
The evening concludes with a panel discussion including Astrid, Luca and members of the Eye team.
There will be a bar and a stall at which you can buy bargain back issues of Eye plus the latest edition – Eye 105.

Arrangør
Established in 1891 with a clear social and cultural purpose, St Bride Foundation is one of London’s hidden gems.
Housed in a beautiful Grade II listed Victorian building, St Bride Foundation was originally set up to serve the burgeoning print and publishing trade of nearby Fleet Street, and is now finding a new contemporary audience of designers, printmakers and typographers who come to enjoy a regular programme of design events and workshops.
Many thousands of books, printing-related periodicals and physical objects are at the heart of St Bride Library. Volumes on the history of printing, typography, newspaper design and paper-making jostle for space alongside one of the world’s largest and most significant collections of type specimens. The printed, written, carved and cast word may be found at St Bride in its myriad forms. Architectural lettering and examples of applied typography in many media, together with substantial collections of steel punches and casting matrices for metal types are also held in this eclectic collection. The Reading Room is open to visitors twice a month and on other days by appointment. Although we operate on a cost-neutral basis, it is necessary to charge for some of our services. Details are available by emailing the library team at library@sbf.org.uk.
St Bride retains many of its original features, including the baths, laundry, printing rooms and library. As part of the Foundation’s original mission to provide for the community, many of the building’s unique and characterful spaces are available to hire whether for meetings, weddings or classes.
St Bride also houses the popular Bridewell Theatre, and Bridewell Bar (once the laundry), and hosts a year-round programme of plays, comedy, music and exhibitions.
With some 65,000 visitors a year St Bride Foundation is a major London hub for the creative arts in London. We look forward to welcoming you soon.
