The catalog commissioned by the National Library of Poland for the 100th anniversary of Polands independence restoration contains descriptions and designs of historical ephemeral prints, e.g. announcements and leaflets (1914-1918). The challenge was to find the best solution for typography of descriptions of “originals” and “technicals”. The layout is divided into 2 columns: texts in original use black Polish historical Brygada 1918 font, the technical texts are metallic and use Polish contemporary Lato font. The cover refers to the image of various printed leaflets scattered.
