  • trockenbrot (dry bread) 8–12 pt type is referred to as ‘breadtype’. It is easy to read and commonly used. Bread is simple but not plain. It provides a base for interesting toppings, and is the perfect accompaniment to almost every meal. Dry humour helps through everyday life and gives a fun slant to simple pleasures. Applied to design, the concept produces a down-to-earth attitude and inspires clever solutions within the given limits. Behind trockenbrot are Claudia Schenk and Anja Sicka. With a similar educational background in Illustration and book design, they share an approach to typography and printed matter, especially books. Their cooperation began in making silkscreen-printed small editions, and has expanded over the years to a larger field of publishing. trockenbrot lacks the four walls of an office but it supports an even larger roof to shelter ideas and individual approaches. We won’t leave you hungry.
