  • TYPO Berlin 2010 Launches Fantastic iPhone/iPod Touch App

    TYPO Berlin is Europe’s most important regularly scheduled design conference. Each year, the conference is dedicated to a different theme, this year’s being “Passion”. TYPO is hosted by FontShop AG in Berlin/Germany. Now that it is only ten days away (!) TYPO fever is building. The heart in the logo on the TYPO website started beating, plus a countdown has been added. TYPO Night also received its dedicated web page, with details on the venue and the programme. After having sold 1115 tickets, TYPO is down to the very last 35 tickets, organiser Benno Rudolf told me today. So if you still want in on the fun, don’t procrastinate any longer!

  • FS_eZien by FontShop BeNeLux

    Today we are trying something new. In response to the success of the FontFont release magazines, FontShop BeNeLux will publish quarterly eZines in PDF format. The content is an overview of FontShop articles from the last three months, culled from FontShop publishing venues including – but not limited to – The FontFeed and Unzipped. It is a highly subjective selection. FS_eZien – a nod to our Dutch customers – can be viewed on screen, but is printable if you’d rather do your reading on paper. Keep in mind this is a first issue, so we welcome your feedback and suggestions.FS_eZien

  • The Edward Johnston Foundation

    For people who can’t make it to this year’s TYPO Berlin in May there is another, much smaller conference running almost simultaneously in Great Britain. The annual Pen to Printer seminars – organised by the Edward Johnston Foundation – bring together distinguished speakers and delegates from many lettering and associated disciplines to discuss in a convivial atmosphere issues of importance in today’s rapidly-changing world of communications. The Tenth Annual International Ditchling Seminar will run from Friday May 21, to Sunday May 23, 2010, in Ditchling Village Hall.

  • Submit your best designs to the FontShop Gallery

    One of the new FontShop projects I’m collaborating on are the Gallery tabs, one of the many new features added to FontShop.com in the past months. My experience with the Typophile Type Identification Board has taught me that real world examples play an important role in the selection of typefaces. People want to use what they have seen and like – type on a movie poster, used for a logo, on an album cover, in a magazine, a corporate identity. Specimens can teach you quite a bit about the specifics of a type design, the range of its character set, how it sets, and so on, but as my FontFeed co-editor Stephen Coles writes in last month’s Type Trends 2010 edition of FontShop News: “Specimens are nice, but when selecting type it’s often more useful to do a reality check. (…) This can help you make an informed decision when selecting typefaces.”

  • VTM and 2BE television identities with Klavika and Vista

    For such a purely visual medium, type and typography mostly play an subordinate role in television, at least in Belgium. Text matter often looks rather safe, predictable, and utilitarian. Seldom does a channel identity grab you because of its surprising choice of type. For example the two main channels of Flemish public broadcasting company VRT use very common and overused typefaces. Eén relies on the technical shapes and timeless quality of Tobias Frere-Jones’ Interstate, while Canvas selected Hoefler & Frere-Jones’ Gotham for its universal appeal. And their children’s network Ketnet uses some Digital Sans-like square techno sans.

  • FontFont 51 introduces new serif/sans text system

    In 1990, FontShop followed its launch with FF Scala, a serif typeface which paid homage to traditional serifs, but offered something refreshingly new, a text face for a new era. Twenty years later, FF Yoga takes the same big step for this generation, offering a soulful, contemporary alternative to the overused classics.

  • Shapeshifters 2010 Sources

    In 2010, Shapeshifters explores the knowledge of the origins of our visual thinking in order to understand the complex anatomy of graphical communication systems.

    When and where did images merge with meaning(s), and how and when did the use of images and signs develop into autonomous graphical systems? Or were they integrated into existing systems? How are graphic designers using these ‘universal’ visual standards (symbols, icons, writing or structural systems, etc.) nowadays in an innovative way? And what is the impact of our download/copy-paste/sample culture on these developments? Shapeshifters presents 6 lecturers who will share their views on this topic; the series kicks off with Gerard Jäger and Markus Hanzer, both from Austria.
