Cüisine by Elif Oskan
Elif Oskan’s Cüisine is a thoroughly researched and carefully developed title that will eventually enrich Turkish cuisine and bring lots of fun into yours. We went on a research trip with the Turkish-born chef Elif Oskan (Rosi, Gül, Miss Marshall) to her home country in the city of Istanbul, the vast regions of Gaziantep, Hatay, and Antalya. The unique and charismatic wording, snapshots of memorable moments, graphics, videos and the tassel that serves as a bookmark accompany exquisite recipes. For dessert, there is baklava with tea, but also a studio-designed website with tutorials, merch and a range of products.
Turkish cuisine thrives on contrasts: east-west, sweet-salty! RT Rondelle and GT Alpina reflect this, alternating between italic and regular. Illustrative and ornamental elements have been woven into the typefaces by the designers of YAN-CO Studio. Rondelle by Razzia Type (Mirco Schiavone) is used as a title. Alongside, you’ll be able to spot Alpina by Reto Moser of Grilli Type.
