Niki: fifty years on
ISTD Assessment Publication
This publication explores the milestones surrounding F1 legend Niki Lauda's maiden World Championship win, told in his own words. Responding to the ISTD brief Milestones, an editorial approach was taken to re-form the source text into five distinct chapters, each of which representing a year of Lauda’s life and career between 1973 and ’77 and reflecting on the achievements and adversities he faced during that season. Deploying a type-focussed approach, the specifications of the text were carefully crafted to best reflect the narrative, with an imposing single column fully justified by hand for clarity and typographic excellence.
