Prosa Pequeña by Amilcar Bettega
Prosa Pequeña is a book published by Milserifas and designed by Tipastype (including Sandra García and Dafne Martínez), who worked with Milserifas editor Fredy Ordóñez and the illustrator Angélica Duque to bring this beautiful book to fruition.
The book features 69 prosas written by Amilcar Bettega and translated by Angela Cuartas. According to the publisher, each prosa is a statement of wonder that depicts “those trivial moments of which life is made, those daily scenes that we see or that we represent every day and that end up being transparent thanks to the generous magnifying lens of poetry with which the author captures them.” (translation).
Roslindale and Roslindale Text are used throughout the book, which Tipastype chose in order to “give a lot of character” to the titles and “unique flavor and warmth” to the body text. On the the cover, they used the super-chunky Display Condensed Ultra alongside Gotham Condensed Bold for supporting text.
The book is available directly from the publisher, and will be on sale at the next book fair in Bogota, Colombia.
