Wieder eine Frage per email:
Was bedeuten für Sie Proportionen?
form condensed
I write a monthly column in form, the German design magazine.
This one is about claiming other people’s work. Which is not bad style, it is theft.
Imitation is not flattery
One thing only
Another big question: What is the ONE thing you think every student of typography should know?
Typographic poster
For an exhibition in London, I was asked to design a poster featuring a speech of my choice, for an audience who mainly (only?) spoke English.
Typographic rules
A student asked in an email: Can you tell me about any particular typographic rules or details?
Interviews statements thoughts
Questions
I get asked a lot of questions from students, colleagues and friends and I write articles, columns and the occasional book. And it takes a lot of time going over the same stuff. So this blog is the beginning of a collection of emails and other writings plus gossip, hearsay and things I find interesting; unedited and in no particular order. And in both English and German. You have to sort it yourself. There’ll be new stuff every day – I have a very large hard drive.
typefaces
I am often asked about my typefaces. It isn’t easy for everybody to get full showings for them all, so i’ll try and provide PDFs for all of them. It’ll take a while, but here’s a start.
