Mikser
Definition
The designer of Mikser, Filip Kraus, is an excellent draughtsman and therefore another
typical feature of the letter set is the distinctive graphic quality and construction of
the shapes. The A, V,W and M have peculiar inflated curves. The uppercase
and lowercase M, conspicuously reminiscent of the McDonalds logo, thus unwittingly
became a sort of logo for Mikser. The mechanically vertically truncated K and Rare in
direct contradiction, not only with their uncustomary curves. The capital E is reminiscent
of a mirror-reversed 3 and the curvy tail of the capital Q is also prominent. The
lowercase letters confidently add a whole range of shapes:the p, r and n, which
lead with an upper left serif, while the m deliberately does not have the same principle
and copies the shape of the capital. The f and j have an apparently simplistically,
perpendicularly clipped stroke, the same as the capital K and R. All is enhanced by
the apparent disproportion of the characters caused by their uniform width. Despite all
these provocations and incitements, it is not a matter of chaos. Quite the contrary the
possibilities of use of Mikser will probably be equally as versatile as the typeface itself.
It cannot be ruled out that its use will demand a new method of graphic design, just as
Mikser creates its own typeface category.
