Catalog accompanying a major retrospective exhibition of the Czech graphic designer Aleš Najbrt's early work, held at the Národní technické muzeum (National Technical Museum) in Prague. The book focuses on Najbrt's innovative contributions to typography, posters, and visual identity during a transformative decade in Czechoslovak design, spanning the late communist era and the post-Velvet Revolution transition to democracy.
The exhibition highlighted over a hundred pieces including posters, trademarks, logotypes, and typographic experiments. This period marked his evolution from analog craftsmanship - rooted in underground and dissident culture under communism - to digital innovation amid the 1989 revolution's cultural thaw. Key themes include politically charged designs for film, theatre, and social causes, as well as his signature playful, experimental typography that challenged conventions.
