Šeškus

karmina sans

Algirdas Šeškus (born 1945) is a Lithuanian artist and photographer, whose photographs, from the 70-80s, defied Soviet culture of the time. In 2010 the National Gallery of Art in Lithuania organised a major retrospective of his work.
In January 2014 Šeškus’ photographs were exhibited in the Le Château d’Eau gallery in Toulouse, France, and the book Algirdas Šeškus ‘Grey, but not Grey’ was published accompanying the show. Book designer Tom Mrazauskas used Karmina Sans for the design of the book, as he was looking for an expressive and flexible typeface with several weights and complete language support for Lithuanian: ‘Might sound very technical, but at the same time it’s hard to imagine a better solution to set several pages of text in that level of quality and diversity.’
