In this study, Dr De Baerdemaeker proposes approaches for designing contemporary Mongolian newspaper fonts, by comparing the design, development, and use of typefaces in Mongolian newspapers with the ones used in periodicals for Mongolic languages from other regions, and countries, that are printed in the Mongolian script. The study analyses the relation of the representation of the Mongolian script in contemporary digital newspaper design with periodicals that were manufactured with previous printing technologies and typesetting methods.
Additional areas of the research also highlight the background of the newspapers, as well as the historical aspects and design approaches of Mongolian printing and typography.
The research for this study draws on the creation of a unique database of Mongolian periodicals. This database of Mongolian newspapers from the personal collection of Dr De Baerdemaeker consists –to the date of the abstract submission– of 51 copies of six different letterpress printed newspapers (dating between 1896 and 1957), and 35 copies of two different digitally designed newspapers (dating between 1989 and 2020), and intends to be expanded with consulted material from other existing collections.
The design of each of the collected newspapers was thoroughly investigated, by analysing and interpreting the size, material & page layout architecture of the artifact; the masthead; the typography of the body text, headlines, captions & additional information; the use of images; and occasional curiosities.
This research aims to reflect on how to define a particular Mongolian graphic & visual language, and aspires to contribute to the field of Mongolian typography and typeface design.
