From Still Loving Youth:

Three months after our first publication, Still Loving Youth is back with our second edition.  This edition, uses a different format, theme and collaborators from our first edition.

This second edition is divided into three inter-connected parts, where each part is formed from diverse features, which come together under our wider theme of Types Are Fun.

In this edition, we have tried to play with the alphabet and the art of typography, which is often neglected by designers, even though notabene typography is one element of design which can't be avoided.  For people who live outside the world of design, the word typography may sound foreign, or complicated.

As a result, we have tried to ‘provoke' people to pay more attention, introduce, and then fall in love with the world of typography through a variety of writing, photos and light articles, the fruit of the careers of our collaborators, which this time come from a variety of designers, schools and various art and educational communities.

The schools - from pre-schools to kindergartens - we allowed the students to be creative in reconstructing fonts made by local typographers.  The children's creations took a variety of forms, from paint, through beads to rugos.  As well as displaying the children's creativity in deconstructing the letters, we also feature various articles, linked to the world of children, particularly the process where children are introduced to letter shapes.

For various communities, we asked them to make their own font creations, based on their own specialities, such as the knitting community and origami from Tobucil, Bandung, which made letters from knitting wool, and origami paper.  Meanwhile, the Brick Club Indonesia made a miniature town and letters from brick toys (Lego).
Other than creating fonts, in another section of this publication, we asked five photographers in five different Indonesian cities to document the special and unique street typography, reflecting the condition of the city where they live, in the form of photographic essays.

Finally, everything undertaken by our family of contributors in this second edition of Still Loving Youth, has indirectly created fonts and typographic art which feels great, light, and can be enjoyed by all members of the community.
In this edition, we're not afraid to declare that fonts and typograhy are now starting to have a new meaning: fun.
Still Loving Youth 2nd Edition: Types Are Fun. Three  separate volumes compiled in one folder box package. 1000 hand-numbered limited-edition copies.

Ready to freshen up your mind and sight after the holly jolly day!
