ABOUT
vllg.com
Josh Finklea began work on Post Grotesk in 2011 with the goal of designing a
contemporary version of the traditional grotesk sans-serif for his own use.
The intention was to build an amiable typeface with maximum usability and an
overall sense of neutrality.
Finklea is a graphic designer whose work emphasizes restraint, rationality, and
functionality. Post Grotesk is a careful and conservative study of the typographic
genre he found himself using most frequently in his own work, incorporating
his own sensibilities and refined aesthetic, as well as addressing common issues
found when working with the standard faces of the grotesk and neo-grotesk genres.
Original Concept Sketch
Post Grotesk is informed largely by the rational tone of the more systematic
grotesks, while leaning into the looseness of the less structural examples of the
genre. Berthold’s Akzidenz-Grotesk and Bauer’s Venus were both inspirations
for the amount of wonky “grotesqueness” that seemed both usable and unique.

The flared terminals seen in Venus became an integral characteristic to the
design of Post Grotesk.
Left: Venus Grotesk, Right: Post Grotesk
“Even though I tend to lean towards restraint and minimalism, I kept running into
instances where classic sans serifs like Akzidenz, Univers, Helvetica, Monotype
Grotesque, and Franklin Gothic all felt too clinical and clean shaven for my work.”
Says Finklea.
“I tried my best to dissect and identify some of the characteristics that made a
grotesk lean more towards cleanliness and rationality on one end, and irregularity
and peculiarity on the other.”

ABOUT
In every aspect of the design, the choice of either observing traditional models
or making a finely-calculated divergence was painstakingly agonized over.
Top left: Post Grotesk Book, Top right: Akzidenz Grotesk Buch Regular
Bottom left: Helvetica Regular, Bottom right: Univers Regular
An important characteristic of this dichotomy is the consistency of terminal
angle—the most clinical and rigid being the horizontal terminals such as those
in Helvetica, with the more unique and lively end of the spectrum being the
sheared variety with less consistent terminal angles.

The type specimen for Post Grotesk, designed by Josh Finklea
As a graphic designer, Finklea found that he rarely used the lighter weights in
most grotesks, as the width and interior space of the characters can feel
too open and the width often feels too wide. While it can look elegant at display
sizes, these lighter weights always stick out to Finklea as looking “a bit strange”
in body copy.

ABOUT
“I think others may consciously or subconsciously feel this way too as I mostly see
Regular/Book to Bold weights in the classic grotesk/neo-grotesk fonts. I wanted
to make sure that Post Grotesk Light and Thin maintained negative space in
proportion to the other weights so that it could easily be used for text. The Light
and Thin have actually become my favorite weights.”

A postal service can be private or public, though many
governments place restrictions on private systems.
Since the mid-19th century national postal systems have
generally been established as government monopolies

Proof of payment is often in the form of adhesive postage stamps,
but postage meters are also used for bulk mailing. Modern
private postal systems are typically distinguished from national
postal agencies by the names courier or delivery service. Postal
authorities often have functions other than transporting letters.

Postal authorities often have functions other than transporting letters.
In some countries, a postal, telegraph and telephone (ptt) service oversees
the postal system, in addition to telephone and telegraph systems. Some

The word mail comes from the Medieval English word male, referring to a travelling
bag or pack. It was spelled that way until the 17th century, and is distinct from
the word male. The French have a similar word, malle for a trunk or large box, and mála
is the Irish term for a bag. In the 17th century, the word mail began to appear as a
reference for a bag that contained letters: bag full of letter (1654).

In the UK the Royal Mail delivers the post, while in the United
States the U.S. Postal Service delivers the mail. The term email
first appeared in the 1970s. The term snail-mail is a retronym

The practice of communication by written documents carried by
an intermediary from one person or place to another almost
certainly dates back nearly to the invention of writing. However,
development of formal postal systems occurred much later.
Egypt had the first documented use of an organized courier service.
16 point
The first documented use of an organized courier service for the diffusion
of written documents is in Egypt, where Pharaohs used couriers for the
diffusion of their decrees in the territory of the State (2400 bc). The earliest
surviving piece of mail is also Egyptian, dating to 255 bc. The Universal Postal
Union (upu), established in 1874, includes 192 member countries.
14 point
The word post is derived from Medieval French poste, which ultimately stems from
the past participle of the Latin verb ponere (to lay down or place). The first credible
claim for the development of a real postal system comes from Ancient Persia,
but the point of invention remains in question. The best documented claim attributes
the invention to the Persian King Cyrus the Great (550 bc), who mandated that every
province in his kingdom would organize reception and delivery of post.

The Persian King Cyrus the Great negotiated with neighbouring countries to organize reception and delivery
of post to each of their citizens and had roads built from the city of Post in Western Iran all the way up
to the city of Hakha in the East. Other writers credit his successor Darius I of Persia (521 bc). Other sources
claim much earlier dates for an Assyrian postal system, with credit given to Hammurabi (1700 bc) and
Sargon II (722 bc). Mail may not have been the primary mission of this postal service, however. The role
of the system as an intelligence gathering apparatus is well documented, and the service was called
angariae, a term that in time came to indicate a tax system.
9 point
The Persian system worked on stations (called Chapar-Khaneh), where the message carrier (called Chapar) would
ride to the next post, whereupon he would swap his horse with a fresh one, for maximum performance and
delivery speed. Herodotus described the system in this way: “It is said that as many days as there are in the whole
journey, so many are the men and horses that stand along the road, each horse and man at the interval of a day’s
journey; and these are stayed neither by snow nor rain nor heat nor darkness from accomplishing their appointed
course with all speed.” The verse prominently features on New York’s James Farley Post Office, although it has
been slightly rephrased to: Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the
swift completion of their appointed rounds.

The economic growth and political stability under the Mauryan empire (322–185 bc) saw the development of impressive civil infrastructure
in ancient India. The Mauryans developed early Indian mail service as well as public wells, rest houses, and other facilities for the common
public. Common chariots called Dagana were sometimes used as mail chariots in ancient India. Couriers were used militarily by kings and local
rulers to deliver information through runners and other carriers. The postmaster, the head of the intelligence service, was responsible
for ensuring the maintenance of the courier system. Couriers were also used to deliver personal letters. In South India, the Wodeyar dynasty
(1399–1947) of the Kingdom of Mysore used mail service for espionage purposes thereby acquiring knowledge related to matters that took
place at great distances.

By the end of the 18th century, the postal system in India had reached impressive
levels of efficiency. According to British national Thomas Broughton, the Maharaja
of Jodhpur sent daily offerings of fresh flowers from his capital to Nathadvara
(a distance of 320 km), and they arrived in time for the first religious Darshan at
sunrise. Later this system underwent complete modernization when the British Raj
established its full control over India.

The Post Office Act xvii of 1837 provided that the Governor-General of India in Council had the exclusive
right of conveying letters by post for hire within the territories of the East India Company. The mails
were available to certain officials without charge, which became a controversial privilege as the years passed.
On this basis the Indian Post Office was established on October 1, 1837. According to British national
Thomas Broughton, the Maharaja of Jodhpur sent daily offerings of fresh flowers from his capital to Nathadvara
and they arrived in time for the first religious Darshan at sunrise.

Chinese sources often claim mail or postal systems dating back to the Xia or Shang dynasties, which would make their
service the oldest in the world. The earliest credible system of couriers was initiated by the Han Dynasty (206 bc–
ad 220), who had relay stations every 30 li along major routes. The Tang dynasty recorded 1,639 posthouses, including
maritime offices, employing around 20,000 people. The system was administered by the Ministry of War and private
correspondence was forbidden from the network. The Ming network had 1,936 posthouses every 60 li along major routes,
with fresh horses available every 10 li between them. The postal network was a major part of the corruption in the later
part of the dynasty. The Qing, prior to the foreign occupation and reorganization of the Imperial Mail, operated 1,785
posthouses throughout their lands.

Genghis Khan installed an empire-wide messenger and postal station system named Örtöö within the Mongol Empire. During the Yuan Dynasty under
Kublai Khan, this system also covered the territory of China. Postal stations were used not only for the transmission and delivery of official mail but were
also available for traveling officials, military men, and foreign dignitaries. These stations aided and facilitated the transport of foreign and domestic
tribute specifically and the conduct of trade in general. By the end of Kublai Khan’s rule, there were more than 1400 postal stations in China alone, which
in turn had at their disposal about 50,000 horses, 1,400 oxen, 6,700 mules, 400 carts, 6,000 boats, more than 200 dogs, and 1,150 sheep. The stations
were 25 to 65 km (16 to 40 mi) apart and had reliable attendants working for the mail service. Foreign observers, such as Marco Polo, have attested to
the efficiency of this early postal system.

Well before the Middle Ages, homing pigeons were used for pigeon post,
taking advantage of a singular quality of this bird, which when taken far
from its nest is able to find its way home due to a particularly developed
sense of orientation. Messages were then tied around the legs of the
pigeon, which was freed and could reach its original nest.

Mail has been transported by quite a few other methods throughout history,
including dogsled, ski, balloon, rocket, mule, pneumatic tubes, and even

of missi dominici.

Many religious orders had a private mail service. Notably, the Cistercians had
one which connected more than 6,000 abbeys, monasteries, and churches.
The best organization, however, was created by the Knights Templar. The newly

(1158). Widespread illiteracy was accommodated through the service of scribes.

In 1505, Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian I established a postal system in the Empire,
appointing Franz von Taxis to run it. The Thurn und Taxis family, then known as
Tassis, had operated postal services between Italian city states from 1290 onward.
Following the abolition of the Empire in 1806, the Thurn-und-Taxis Post system continued
as a private organisation into the postage stamp era before being absorbed into the
postal system of the new German Empire after 1871.

In 1716 Correos y Telégrafos was established in Spain as public mail service, available to all citizens. Delivery
postmen were first employed in 1756 and post boxes were installed firstly in 1762. In the United Kingdom,
prior to 1840 the postal system was expensive, confusing and seen as corrupt. Letters were paid for by the recipient
rather than the sender, and were charged according to the distance the letter had travelled and the number of
sheets of paper it contained. Sir Rowland Hill reformed the postal system based on the concepts of penny postage
and pre payment. In his proposal Hill also called for official pre-printed envelopes and adhesive postage stamps
as alternative ways of getting the sender to pay for the postage.

The postal system was important in the development of modern transportation. Railways carried railway post offices.
During the 20th century, air mail became the transport of choice for inter-continental mail. Postmen started to utilize mail
trucks. The handling of mail became increasingly automated. The Internet came to change the conditions for physical
mail. Email (and in recent years social networking sites) became a fierce competitor to physical mail systems, but online
auctions and Internet shopping opened new business opportunities as people often get items bought online through
the mail. Modern mail is organized by national and privatized services, which are reciprocally interconnected by international
regulations, organizations and international agreements. Paper letters and parcels can be sent to almost any country in
the world relatively easily and cheaply.

The Internet has made the process of sending letter-like messages nearly instantaneous, and in many cases and situations correspondents use electronic
mail where previously they would have used letters. The volume of paper mail sent through the U.S. Postal Service has declined by more than 15%
since its peak at 213 billion pieces per annum in 2006. Some countries have organized their mail services as public limited liability corporations without
a legal monopoly. The worldwide postal system comprising the individual national postal systems of the world’s self-governing states is co-ordinated
by the Universal Postal Union, which among other things sets international postage rates, defines standards for postage stamps and operates the system
of International Reply Coupons. In most countries a system of codes has been created (referred to as ZIP codes in the United States, postcodes in the
United Kingdom and Australia, and postal codes in most other countries), in order to facilitate the automation of operations.

Worldwide the most common method of prepaying postage is by buying an
adhesive postage stamp to be applied to the envelope before mailing; a much
less common method is to use a postage-prepaid envelope. Franking is a
method of creating postage-prepaid envelopes under licence using a special
machine. They are used by companies with large mail programs.

In 1998, the U.S. Postal Service authorised the first tests of a secure system to send
digital franks via the Internet to be printed out on a PC printer, obviating the necessity
to license a dedicated franking machine and allowing companies with smaller
mail programs to make use of the option; this was later expanded to test the use of
personalised postage. The service provided by the U.S. Postal Service in 2003.

When a pre-paid envelope or package is accepted into the mail by an agent of the postal service,
the agent usually indicates by means of a cancellation that it is no longer valid for pre-payment
of postage. The exceptions are when the agent forgets or neglects to cancel the mailpiece,
for stamps that are pre-cancelled and thus do not require cancellation and for, in most cases,
metered mail. (The “personalised stamps” authorized by the USPS and manufactured by Zazzle
and other companies are in fact a form of meter label and thus do not need to be cancelled.)

Letter-sized mail constitutes the bulk of the contents sent through most postal

First-class mail prices are based on both the shape and weight of the item being mailed. Pieces
over 13 ounces can be sent as Priority Mail. As of 2011 42% of first-class mail arrived the
next day, 27% in two days, and 31% in three. The USPS expected that changes to the service
in 2012 would cause about 51% to arrive in two days and most of the rest in three. In the
UK, First Class letters are simply a priority option over Second Class, at a slightly higher cost.
Royal Mail aims (but does not guarantee) to deliver all First Class letters the day after postage.

Den 10. desember 1948 vedtok og kunngjorde De Forente Nasjoners tredje Generalforsamling Verdenserklæringen om Menneskerettighetene. Erklæringen ble vedtatt med 48 lands
ja-stemmer. Ingen land stemte mot. 8 land avsto. Umiddelbart etter denne historiske
begivenhet henstilte Generalforsamlingen til alle medlemsstater å bekjentgjøre Erklæringens
tekst og “sørge for at den blir distribuert, framvist, lest og forklart spesielt i skoler og andre
læreinstitusjoner, uten hensyn til de forskjellige lands eller områders politiske status”.
Erklæringens offisielle tekst foreligger på FNs seks arbeidsspråk: arabisk, engelsk, fransk,
kinesisk, russisk og spansk. En lang rekke av FNs medlemsstater har fulgt Generalforsamlingens oppfordring og oversatt Erklæringen til de nasjonale språk.
İnsanlik topluluğunun bütün fertleriyle uzuvlarının bu beyannameyi daima gözönünde
tutarak öğretim ve eğitim yoluyla bu haklar ve hürriyetlere saygıyı geliştirmeye, gittikçe artan
milli ve milletlerarası tedbirlerle gerek bizzat üye devletler ahalisi gerekse bu devletlerin
idaresi altındaki ülkeler ahalisi arasında bu hakların dünyaca fiilen tanınmasını ve tatbik
edilmesini sağlamaya gayret etmeleri amacıyla bütün halklar ve milletler için ulaşılacak ortak
ideal olarak işbu İnsan Hakları Evrensel Beyannamesini ilan eder. Bütün insanlar hür, haysiyet
ve haklar bakımından eşit doğarlar. Akıl ve vicdana sahiptirler ve birbirlerine karşı kardeşlik
zihniyeti ile hareket etmelidirler. Herkes, ırk, renk, cinsiyet, dil, din, siyasi veya diğer herhangi
bir akide, milli veya içtimai menşe, servet.
