The people, the two studios, the press, and the dog.
Our first content modelling workshop in the Copenhagen print shop: twelve people from a museum, a library, a ferry company and a newspaper, one bus station, too much coffee, and a dog who wanted to help with the pile. Everyone found their own content in a building.
I joined Small Caps in Copenhagen in July and spent most of my first month in Dublin, building the page you see when you scan a plaque. What the two studios are like, what a quay is, and the afternoon a retired architect fixed a page in the rain.
The studio dog has been asked to contribute to the journal. She has some observations about the print shop, Friday biscuits, the workshops, the pile in the middle of the table, and the people who keep standing on her blanket. Typed up by Elias, uncorrected.
Our Copenhagen studio now lives in a print shop that closed after sixty years. The type cabinets became shelves, three drawers of metal type stayed as they were, and the press we meant to sell is still here, because its former owner offered to teach us to use it.
Small capitals are letters that sit quietly in a line and carry a lot of meaning. Seven years after naming a design and development studio after them, that is still the best description of how we work. Here is where the name came from, and why we started writing this journal.
The studio, its people, its clients and their 1,912 buildings are invented, to show what a site built on Nohead looks like. The projects, posts, people and images live in a Nohead project; Astro builds the site.
