Another Lifetime Achievement

It could be a signal to quit: this is my fourth lifetime award since the German Design Council gave me their award in 2011, followed by SoTA (Society of Typographic Afficionados) and the TDC (TypeDirectors Club New York). The German Art Directors gave me their award last friday here in Berlin. It is a golden nail. Honi soit qui mal y pense…

Thank you.

@jpamental @jenskutilek @espiekermann Dear Jason, maybe you like some background information on the #design #process? Also the #naming took quite interesting curves. I wrote about it extensively: https://t.co/eqvPFKAZ58 #Fira #font #typedesign

It is immortal. In London, I once stopped some young men who were wearing DB high-viz vests as fashion garments and asked why. They had no idea what DB meant; it was simply because of your typeface. https://t.co/2OwTSRVA7q

@espiekermann I miss the old Nokia Sans. This Nokia Pure has little to no character. I almost mistook it for Myriad.
