QOD typeface for car licence plates
The QOD typeface, derived from geometrically constructed sans-serifs, features uniform stroke thickness and equally spaced characters. License plate typefaces must have easily distinguishable characters, so QOD letters are more angular, and numbers are rounded. Easily confused characters like B, S, and 8 or O, D, and 0 are emphasized for distinctiveness. Selective use of serifs (C, G, I, J, L, S, T, 1, 7) enhances uniqueness. QOD has three styles (A, B, C), each designed for different plate sizes. The typeface was created at the Department of Visual Communication, AFAD in Bratislava.
People of Design
Anton Bendis
Anton Bendis študoval dizajn na STU Bratislava (1984-1989), aj keď pôvodne chcel ísť študovať konštrukciu lietadiel. Vzťah ku technicky náročným produktom ho však v jeho dizajnérskej praxi sprevádzal aj naďalej. Začiatkom 90. rokov spolupracoval s dizajnérskym štúdiom Mr. Design. V tom čase štúdio navrhlo grafický dizajn a logo pre novovzniknutý časopisu DE SIGN UM (1994), ktoré dodnes vydáva SCD. Bendis po odchode z Mr. Design (ktoré neskôr zaniklo) spolupracoval ešte na rôznych s projektoch s Bjornom Kierulfom. Po roku 2000, pod vtedy známou a osvedčenou značkou Bendis&Kierulf, realizovali niekoľko skvelých projektov.
