(Preface/Translation) 'This special limited-edition desk diary was produced by UNA Amsterdam as a corporate gift for clients and relations. It was created in close collaboration with Veenman Drukkers, graphic designer Meghan Ferrill, type designer David Quay, and Binderij Hexspoor.
Idea, concept and design originated with Una Designers in Amsterdam. Meghan Ferrill wrote the introduction, which — like all other texts and figures — was set in the Light and Regular versions of Plek and Fleck, a matrix-based typeface family designed in 2002 by David Quay and published by The Foundry in London.
The typographic grid of the diary is based on the same matrix from which the letterforms were derived. The paper used for the interior — Reference woodfree cream, 120 g/m² and 60 g/m² — was supplied by Grafisch Papier. Fifteen sheets in the format 72 × 104 cm were printed by Veenman Drukkers on one side in five colours and on the reverse in two colours. The first sheet in 60 g/m² Reference was printed in all fifteen colours used throughout the agenda. The first and last four pages in 120 g/m² Reference were printed on one side in three colours and on the reverse in two colours. The introduction on page 3 was applied by Drukkerij Schröder in Neuss, Germany, using filigree laser printing. Binderij Hexspoor bound the double cover, opening and closing pages, and the Japanese-folded and perforated sheets — including the interleaving leaf — into the final product using threadless OTA binding with PUR glue. The outer and inner covers are made of Freelife Merida 320 g/m² and 215 g/m² respectively, both in Graphite. After printing, the outer cover received a debossed dot-structure embossing.
