This Is Badland ISSUE N.06 — THE UNTOLD WORLD

Founders & Chief Editors: Rafaela Kaćunić and Nina Vukelić
Art Direction & Design by Me

Covers shot by Viktor Naumovski, Sarah Feingold and Elli Brown

From fossilized alien bodies to the dawn of hyper-intelligence, recent discoveries are seeming less like a break-through and more like a revelation of our relentless attempts at eliminating uncertainty entirely. Trusting our own selective memories and versions of the past, the ‘unknown’ is often perceived as something that lies in the future, not something that has already happened. In this issue, we unpack the past and pick at the cracks in what we try to define as reality—documenting our obsessions, our wanting to leave our mark, and our need for cataloguing, conservation, and classification.[…]
If reality and truth are hypothesized pasts and futures, we believe that within the smallest fragments, to the infinite scales of existence—perhaps even between these pages—lies a world of possibility that goes beyond our chaotic present.
The Untold World.

New Aesthetic 1 – REISSUE

The first issue, reworked, redesigned and completely revised.

New Aesthetic delves into the enigmatic realms of creative expression, uniting a collective of typographers, artists, and designers, each contributing their distinctive approach to typography. New Aesthetic seeks to inspire and innovate, opposing typographic rigidity and welcoming artistic exploration and expressive experimentation. New Aesthetic believes in the profound emotional influence wielded by typefaces and serves as a canvas, painting a multifaceted portrait of modern typography. Focusing on the emotionally influential power that typefaces hold, New Aesthetic shows modern typography in a multitude of facets. In this revised and reworked edition of the very first unpublished volume of New Aesthetic, we continue the journey through independent type design.

New Aesthetic 3 is the third edition of our book project on Independent Typography and expressive type design. Working together with Leonhard Laupichler, we curated a collection of amazingly unique typefaces by independent designers. We are looking at type design with a benevolence to experiments and processes, finding potential in the unusual, that might point us into a new future of approaching and practicing visual communication.

New Aesthetic was published by Sorry Press and is available in curated art and design bookstores worldwide.
This spring, we had the honor to host an exclusive release event of Issue 3 in Paris together with Sorry Press at the popular Marais art book store 0fr.Paris, celebrating with contributors and visitors, and sharing meaningful conversations about contemporary typography and the art of type design.

In the shape of an instagram based social media campaign, this project addresses stereotypical and prejudice based casting, racism and the lack of diverese and authentic representation of BiPOC within the German film and television industry, as well as it's dramatic influence. Highlighting statements of BiPOC actressess and actors, as well as those of supporting allies, a bold color and face centered approach frames the campaign visually. The campaign consists of a block of social media posts, a statement video, addressing the topic and problem in depth, as well as a newspaper-zine.

EULA

This End User License Agreement (the “Agreement”) is a contract between Sophia Brinkgerd and you, the Licensee (the entity or organisation on whose behalf the Fonts are used, and whose name is specified during the checkout or sale process). By purchasing, downloading, installing or otherwise using the Fonts (computer software containing representations of typeface designs), you are agreeing to the terms of this Agreement. Upon receipt of full payment of all applicable license fees, Sophia Brinkgerd grants you the limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use the Fonts in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. You agree that all rights not granted to you by this Agreement are expressly reserved by Sophia Brinkgerd.

Commercial License – Definitions

“Licensee Size” is the number of employees, including temporary staff, working for the Licensee.
“Designer” is any entity (such as a design agency or studio, individual designer, or other service bureau) that provides services to the Licensee involving use of the Fonts.
“Subcontractor” is any third party using the Fonts on behalf of the Licensee. Unless the Designer and Licensee are the same entity (i.e. the Designer is creating work for their own organisation), the Designer is a Subcontractor of the Licensee.

Ownership

The purchase of a license does not give you ownership of the Fonts. You are purchasing the non-exclusive permission to use the fonts in accordance with the license agreement. Therefore all font software, trademarks, electronic data, designs and names remain the property of Sophia Brinkgerd.

License Scope

A Commercial license permits you to use the Fonts within your organisation. The Fonts are provided in OTF (OpenType CFF), WOFF and WOFF2 formats. Alternative formats might be provided on request, at the discretion of Sophia Brinkgerd. Except as otherwise specified by this Agreement, you may install the Fonts on any number of devices within your organisation; use the Fonts on any number of websites owned and controlled by your organisation; and/or embed the Fonts in static documents (such as PDFs), in eBooks, digital products, installable applications, and other media produced by your organisation.

You may only serve the Fonts on websites using the CSS @font-face rule and in the WOFF and WOFF2 formats. Use of the Fonts in OTF format on the web is not permitted. The cost of a Commercial license is determined based on the Licensee Size and categorised in pricing tiers. Should the licensee outgrow its licensed tier over three consecutive months, the licensee must upgrade their license to the correct tier. Licenses can only be upgraded and Sophia Brinkgerd will not reimburse any cost should the licensee’s number of employee’s decrease below its license tier. For companies exceeding 70 employees, custom licensing is required (this can be done via email request).

Sophia Brinkgerd may at any time, request an audit to confirm you are in accordance with this EULA. On the event of receiving an audit request, you must provide a statement disclosing the total number of employee’s a the Licensee’s organisation at that point in time. Should the number of employee’s exceed your license tier, you must upgrade the license accordingly. Upgrading the license can be arranged by contacting Sophia Brinkgerd directly.

Subcontractors

A Commercial license permits any number of Subcontractors to use the Fonts, in accordance with this Agreement, on behalf of the Licensee. You are permitted to send copies of the Fonts to Subcontractors for this purpose. You must ensure that any Subcontractor has read and agreed to the terms of this Agreement before receiving the Fonts.

If a Subcontractor stops working for the Licensee, they must destroy all copies of the Fonts in their possession. At no time is any Subcontractor permitted to use the Fonts on behalf of themselves or any party other than the Licensee. Unless a specific exception is granted by Sophia Brinkgerd, a Subcontractor must not be a subsidiary or parent organisation of the Licensee.

Purchase by Designer
A Designer can purchase a Commercial license on behalf of the Licensee (their client), provided that: the Licensee and Licensee Size are correctly specified during the checkout process; the Licensee has read and agreed to the terms of this Agreement; and the Licensee has expressly permitted the Designer to complete the purchase on their behalf. The Designer is not permitted to quote or invoice the Licensee for any price other than the amount they actually paid for the license.

Trial License
A Trial Font license is free and permits you to use Trial versions of the Fonts (“Trial Fonts”) for preview, evaluation purposes, and to create proposals for commercial client projects. Trial Fonts are issued with a full character-set and features. The Fonts are only available in OTF (OpenType CFF) format and do not include any variable fonts. You may install Trial Fonts on any number of devices within your organisation. The Trial Fonts must not be shared or redistributed amongst any third party organisations including any Clients or Subcontractors.

General Restrictions

You must take all reasonable precautions to ensure the Fonts are not accessible to unlicensed third parties or to the general public. The Fonts must not be uploaded onto online storage platforms (such as GitHub or Amazon S3) where they would be accessible to unlicensed third parties. You are not permitted to:

Decompile, modify, reverse-engineer, reformat, alter, edit, or create derivative works of the Fonts or engage any third party to do so without prior written permission from Sophia Brinkgerd (converting the font to outline and editing these outlines to create artworks is allowed but you may not open the fonts in a specialised font editor to edit and re-export). Should you require a modification to the Fonts, you must discuss this with Sophia Brinkgerd as a custom font modification project. Distribute (share, rent, lend, gift, sell, sub-license, etc.) the Fonts or any copy thereof to any unlicensed third party. Transfer this Agreement or any of your rights hereunder to any third party without the prior written permission of Sophia Brinkgerd. Use the Fonts in any explicitly political or religious context, or any context relating to cryptocurrency or the sale of Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs), without the prior written consent of Sophia Brinkgerd. Written consent from Sophia Brinkgerd is also required by news and media organisations or by any state controlled companies. Use the Fonts in any violent or hateful contexts or any form of discrimination based on specific characteristics like race, religion, gender, or disability. Use the Fonts in any contexts linked to the promotion of fossil fuel use, deforestation, mistreatment of animals or by any military establishments. Use the Fonts in any application in which an unlicensed third party could use them to customise their own designs or to create static documents or images (e.g. an online design application, iron-on lettering product, or print-on-demand service).

Term

This Agreement is effective in perpetuity, except that if you breach any of its terms, Sophia Brinkgerd reserves the right to charge you the cost of a license covering your actual usage of the Fonts, on a per-infringement basis and without discounts, and/or terminate the license.


Warranty

Sophia Brinkgerd makes no warranties, express or implied, as to merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or otherwise. If you encounter an issue or problem with the Fonts, Sophia Brinkgerd will make a good faith effort to provide a fix or replacement within 30 days of being notified. If the issue cannot be reasonably remedied, Sophia Brinkgerd may at their discretion offer to refund you, at which point this Agreement will immediately terminate.

Legal

Sophia Brinkgerd shall in no event be liable to you or any other third party for any direct, indirect, consequential or incidental damages arising out of the use or inability to use the Fonts, even if notified in advance. Under no circumstances shall Sophia Brinkgerd’s liability exceed the cost of the license you purchased. You agree to indemnify and hold Sophia Brinkgerd harmless from and against any claims or damage which may result from your misuse of the Fonts or breach of this Agreement.
