+ In the late 50's Kefallinos designed and published an exquisite book with
+ engraved illustrations of the ancient white funerary pottery in Attica in
+ collaboration with Varlamos, Montesanto, Damianakis. For the text of
+ Kefallinos' Δέκα λευκαί λήκυθοι (1956) the artist used a typeface which he
+ himself had designed a few years before for an unrealised edition of
+ Theocritos' Idyls. Its complex and heavily decorative design does point to
+ aesthetic codes which preoccupied his artistic expression and, although
+ impractical for contemporary text setting, it remains an original display
+ face, or it can be used as initials.
+
+ The book design workshop of the Fine Arts School of Athens has been recently
+ reorganised, under the direction of professor Leoni Vidali, and with her
+ collaboration George D. Matthiopoulos has redesigned digitaly this historical
+ font which is now available as GFS Theokritos.
