---

When: Tuesday 13 February 2024, 20:00 hrs.
Location: Stroom, Hogewal 1-9, The Hague
Entrance: free (BNO members get a free drink)

Zefir7 is the monthly designer café in collaboration with BNO. In this edition of Type on Tuesday we celebrate the work of Jan Middendorp, with presentations by Chris Reinewald, Huug Schipper and Peter Verheul.

On December 7, 2023, Jan Middendorp passed away. He was an extraordinarily versatile human being: playwright, musician, writer, designer and compiler of a number of inevitable books on the craft of graphic design and on letters. With Ha, daar gaat er een van mij he exposed in 2002 the design landscape of The Hague between 1945 and 2000. His magnus opus is Dutch Type, a chunky sidewalk book containing everything of any significance in the field of type design in the Netherlands. Then he compiled a standard work for students: the form of text.

Far before that, he produced the journal Druk for Fontshop. Just to name a few eye-catching things. But now he is no more. A farewell meeting was recently held in his hometown of Berlin. Besides being Italian, Belgian and German, Jan was also Dutch: by birth and through his work on Dutch design issues. Zefir7, the design café for which he gave several talks, wants to celebrate Jan's life and work with peers and friends.
