Raphael Boguslav’s and Jill Pichotta’s (Font Bureau) decorative, flared serif typeface »Avia«.
AVIA: We have all seen proofs where faulty platemaking or light inking has lost all hairlines in a delicate roman. Raphael Boguslav observed the effect and understood it as a sophisticated form of stencil design. He used the idea in a logotype for Abex Corporation, then expanded it into Avia, a prize-winning PhotoTypositor font for Visual Graphics Corporation.
Jill Pichotta has added the Light and Bold for Font Bureau.

Den Ricatech-PR 1980 kaufte ich vor wenigen Tagen.
Ich konnte mich dem Retrolook und dem Wunsch nach der guten alten Zeit nicht entziehen.
Im Internet fiel mir das Gerät bereits auf, nun hatte es der Mediamarkt im Regal.
Als DDR-Bürger löhnte man in den 1980er Jahren für ein Gerät dieser Klasse gut 1800 Mark, wenn man es nicht für (getauschte) D-Mark im Intershop kaufte. Dort zahlte man um die 80 - 90 DM (vor 1990).
Der Radiorecorder wurde neben der Fotosession auch Tests unterzogen und ich muss sagen, der kann klanglich durchaus mit meinem guten alten Sanyo M 4500 KE mithalten.
Ghettoblaster ist sicher etwas vollmundig, ein Stadtviertel beschallen kann man nicht damit, aber im Innenraum ist der Klang voll.
Die technischen Angaben sind spärlich, es werden 2x 8 W Ausgangsleistung angegeben, ohne Messmöglichkeit sage ich nach Gehör, es ist die übliche großsprecherische Maximalleistungsangabe (PMPO) und nicht die technisch korrekte Sinusleistung. Bei voller Lautstärke fängt er etwas zu scheppern an. Es ist natürlich keine HiFi-Anlage und entspricht der üblichen Norm.
Meine Kopfhörer (Sennheiser) beliefert er aber mit durchgehend sattem Sound.
Meine alten Kassetten werden sauber abgespielt, sowohl ORWO (DDR) als auch diverse Westmarken.
Die 1980er Formensprache hat der chinesische Hersteller gut erfasst.
Das Gerät mit zeitgemäßem USB-Port und SD-Kartenslot verzichtet auf VU-Meter und Zählwerk sowie auf LED-Blingbling (LED-Funktionsanzeigen nur für die MP3-Funktionen vorhanden).
Um 1990 kaufte ich ein vergleichbar simples Gerät, das aber nicht ganz so guten Klang hatte.
Eine Wahlmöglichkeiten zwischen FeO-und CrO²-Kassetten ist nicht vorhanden.
Naja, bei 62 € auch zuviel verlangt.

The Ricatech PR 1980 I bought a few days ago.
I could not escape the retro look and the desire for the good old days.
On the Internet I noticed the device already, now it had the media market on the shelf.
As a GDR citizen, one paid in the 1980s for a device of this class a good 1,800 marks, if you did not buy it for (exchanged) D-Mark in Intershop. There they paid around 80-90 DM (before 1990).
The radio recorder was also subjected to tests in addition to the photo session and I have to say that it can definitely keep up with my good old Sanyo M 4500 KE.
Ghettoblaster is certainly a bit full-bodied, you can not use it to sound a neighborhood, but in the interior the sound is full.
The technical specifications are sparse, it is given 2x 8 W output power, without measurement I say by ear, it is the usual loudspeaker maximum power (PMPO) and not the technically correct sine wave. At full volume, he starts something to clank. It is of course not a hi-fi system and meets the usual standard.
He supplies my headphones (Sennheiser) with consistently rich sound.
My old tapes are played clean, both ORWO (DDR) and various West brands.
The 1980s design language has captured the Chinese manufacturer well.
The device with up-to-date USB port and SD card slot dispenses with VU meter and counter as well as with LED blingbling (LED function displays only available for the MP3 functions).
Around 1990, I bought a comparably simple device that did not sound that good.
There is no choice between FeO and CrO² cassettes.
Well, at 62 € too much to ask.

The last weeks I've been working on my brand: Amiechou. I decided that I have to change the concept to have a bigger designing freedom. My new dolls are made for adult collectors or simply for people only who love the vintage style. They are supposed to be decor pieces and bring some glamour too every room. The new Amiechou is inspired by the amazing looks of the 30's to the 50's, Pin Up art and modern Rockabilly sirens. The mermaid is a centered theme beeing pictured as dolls or in illustrations.
I also reworked my webpage and I you would make me a huge favour if you step by and take a look: www.amiechou.de

The "Hemingway's Cap," purported to be styled after the long-billed fishing caps the author Ernest Hemingway wears in a few photos from the 1930s to the 1950s, is still available from the J. Peterman Company web site and catalog (or, as Peterman's describes it, the "Owner's Manual").
Here's a J. Peterman link, current as of May 2016: J. PETERMAN COMPANY WEB SITE
Here's a link to an image of Hemingway wearing a cloth cap with a long, dark bill while fishing in Bimini in the mid-1930s.
A discussion topic on The Fedora Lounge website from 2006 indicates that the 2006 retail price for the Hemingway's Cap was $39.00, with an occasionally discounted price of $34.00. Ten years later, in 2016, the price is $59.00, although subscribers to the J. Peterman email list are sometimes offered short-term "percent off" coupons, generally 20%.
Early posts in this topic also describe the long bill of this cap as having been covered in soft deerskin. The current Owner's Manual listing indicates calfskin leather.
I recently purchased a J. Peterman "Hemingway's Cap." Yes, I paid fifty bucks for a baseball cap. Yes, I'm a frivolous moron sometimes. At least I had a "21% off" coupon, so actually I only paid $47.00 for a baseball cap. Plus shipping. So yeah, fifty bucks.
I've wanted one. For a long time. Practically forever, it seems. Or at least, ever since I first saw this cap and read the likely spurious but nevertheless compellingly entertaining description in a Peterman catalog years and years ago. But I could never justify the cost. And, quite frankly, I still can't justify the cost. I mean, it's a cotton baseball cap. Light tan in color. With a long, dark bill. There's no way it's worth fifty bucks.
Here's what you get for your $59.00: it's an "old school" low-crowned baseball-style cap made of a lightweight cotton canvas material. The crown consists of six wedge-shaped panels. Each panel sports a brass ventilation grommet in the middle. The back of the cap has elastic sewn into the hem of the fabric to keep it snug. No plastic adjustment band. No Velcro. No open back with a stretchy bit tacked in. Elastic, sewn into the hem. The hat is available in three sizes, Medium, Large, and Extra Large. Thus, it is "sized" to an extent, rather than merely being "adjustable" or "one size fits all."
I generally wear a 7-5/8 or 61 in "sized" hats. I purchased an Extra Large, and it fits well. You'd think that, what with all that space in my head for brains, I'd know better than to spend fifty bucks on a baseball cap.
A tag sewn inside the cap displays the J. Peterman logo and indicates the body of the cap is Made in Sri Lanka of 100% cotton.
The bill is, on my example, 4-7/8 inches long from the front edge to the seam where it attaches to the cotton body. The bill is, indeed, covered in leather. The leather is very smooth, almost shiny. In fact, it almost looks like vinyl. But a close examination of the inside of the hat where the brim attaches reveals that the brim covering is actual leather, as the "non-shiny" side of the hide is visible at the seams. The brim feels as though the core inside the leather is... cardboard. I don't know. What are the brims of baseball caps (or, I shudder at the term: "trucker's caps") usually made of? This one feels like thin cardboard. When the hat arrived the brim was completely flat. I have been gently attempting to give the brim a curve without inadvertently creasing it.
I suppose one way to justify having purchased this hat is that this is the first baseball-style cap I have ever owned. Even as a kid, I never had a baseball hat. So if you add up all the five and ten and fifteen dollar baseball hats and trucker's caps I haven't purchased over the years... okay, yeah, it's a stretch, I know.
Anyway:
PROS:
*Cotton body (not nylon or other new-fangled synthetic blend)
*Six-panel, low-profile, rounded crown construction
*Brass (probably plated) ventilation grommets, one in each panel
*1930s "fishing hat" style
*Long, nearly five inch, leather-covered "duck bill" brim
*Available in a range of three "sizes" rather than one-size-fits-all
*Elastic sewn into the hem; no Velcro or plastic size adjustment band
*No external sports team or "Big Johnson" novelty logos
*Made someplace other than China
CONS:
*Sixty bucks for a baseball hat: that's a "con" in more than one sense of the word!
*Fifty bucks for a baseball hat even with a discount coupon
Does anybody else own one of these? Or rather, will anybody else admit to having shelled out fifty bucks for a semi-fictionalized reproduction of a type of fisherman's cap a famous author might once have worn?
