A compound of the abbreviation of the term “Experimental Atelier” and the year in which its members officially formed a collective, EXAT 51 was a prolific and pioneering group of Croatian architects and artists. They came together to promote abstract art and contemporary communication with the desire to establish a model of Total Design. Ivan Picelj, a world-renowned Croatian artist and designer, was among its most prominent members. He not only co-founded EXAT 51 but was also a crucial contributor to the New Tendencies, an international movement during the 1960s.

In 1962, Picelj initiated a series of his self-published “Edition a” art booklets, having released a total of seven publications up until 1964. Each issue of “Edition a” featured the work of one artist—mostly of a colleague whose work he admired. On top of that, Picelj designed, edited, and printed these all by himself. The visually most striking part of these 16×16 cm booklets was their covers, which featured the lowercase letter “a”, silk-screened in a different, vibrant color for each of these issues. The letter itself appears to be a modified version of Helvetica, a tremendously popular typeface during that period.

Concurrently, most European designers of that time sought clarity and visual unity, making modernism a powerful force in global graphic design, with its influence being palpable even today. Propelled by the work of Swiss masters—like Josef Müller-Brockmann, Armin Hofmann, and Emil Ruder—and the widespread use of the Helvetica typeface, modernism swiftly conquered the world, later even bearing the name International Style. The resulting designs were eclectic, vibrant, and infused with modernist energy. In large part thanks to Picelj, who “brought Helvetica to Croatia”, this style was cherished locally as well, putting Zagreb and Croatia on the International Style map.

The Exat typeface captures the very essence of modernist ideas, striking a harmonious balance between form and function, whilst being aimed at contemporary users. It undeniably references one of the most popular typefaces of all time, all while incorporating extraordinary width and weight options in a robust character set. Exat supports Latin and Cyrillic scripts—covering more than 430 languages—and includes features and stylistic sets inspired by local Croatian graphic design quirks, such as modified thin accents.

What’s specific to this design is that it started as a redrawing of a single letter “a” and the desire to craft a typographic world around it. We wanted to construct a typeface that would bear witness to the local story of our homeland, but also be used by creatives all around the world, without necessarily having to know how it came to be. Exat is inarguably our most ambitious release yet, offering the user total control in choosing the right type—fit for any situation.
