Roman Wilhelm’s website has been updated. His degree project, a German–Chinese travel diary is now complete. It’s a beaitifully design and illustrated book, soon to be published.
My books section is finally up. There is a list of recommended books on typography, type design, callligraphy and lettering and book design. Process Type Foundry has released three new typefaces by Eric Olson: Stratum 1, Stratum 2 and FindReplace. Stratum is a geometric sanserif typeface inspired by contemporary and historical sources. The right-angle braching in the lowercase letters of strict geometric typefaces are replaced by slanted ones, hence opening up the dark areas in the joins. The main difference between the two versions of Stratum is in the terminals – Stratum 1 has slanted terminals while Stratum 2 has flat ones. FindReplace is an interesting modular typeface that was created with FontLab’s serach and replace command. It’s a bitmap-looking typeface with the square pixels replaced by a variety of different marks. James Grieshaber at TypeCo announced his new typeface Super Duty last week. It’s a family of stenciled typefaces that are, in James words ‘somewhere beteween serious and fun’. There are eight variants in the family, with different weights and corner treatments as well as ‘closed’ versions. The most interesting thing about this type family is the lowercase – the x-height is equal to the cap height, with barely any ascenders and descenders. It is interchangeable with the uppercase. David Earls at typographer.org posted a very informative article about typography on the television screen. 3/08/2004 06:40:00 AM Powered by Blogger
