This week I had the very great pleasure of listening to a talk about my favourite design discipline – type.
Legends Bruno Maag and Vincent Connare came into Friday to talk to us about why type matters, how they create new typefaces, the impact of their font for Kindle and how Comic Sans was created.
I was in my element, listening to these guys talk to us about the process and craft of creating type and I’ve rarely seen Madge so animated or fired up about a lecture subject matter. I could have listened to these guys talk all night, and they even left some lovely takeaways for us. My Dalton Maag notepad is so nice I probably won’t ever actually use it.
Big thanks to Jo Simmons and Alex Mecklenburg for organising this.
