Design team of One Show pencil winning Typophile Film Fest 4 interviewed on Unzipped

In case anyone missed it, I interviewed Brent Barson, Eric Gillett and Cole Nielsen on Unzipped about the Typophile Film Fest 4 credits.

MacUser UK sez Typographer.org is one of top 50 Mac sites

UK magazine MacUser’s cover story is Secret Mac sites — 50 hottest web links that will keep you ahead of the crowd. This morning I received a message that Typographer.org is in the list. Apparently they moaned that Bald Condensed doesn’t get updated as often (heck it’s been over a year! :^( ). (I’ve been hunting high and low for a copy of the mag but can’t find it anywhere in Gent. Could somebody please make a scan of the relevant page and send it to me — I’d really like to see that. Thanks.)
I finally managed to obtain a copy of the mag, so it’s not necessary anymore.

Pony Boy is born

Do yourself a favour and please do check this astonishingly beautiful birth announcement. And if you want to comment, please do so on Unzipped — I’m sure Kristof will appreciate it. :^)

Troubleman on YouTube

Quite unexpectedly a fragment of our concert in Paris last year popped up on YouTube. As it was captured by an amateur cinematographist ;^), the sound isn’t too great, so the beginning doesn’t make too much sense. Hear (and see) us rock out on Elsewhere. The original brief for the drum pattern was: “Make it sound like a cross between a marching band and a runaway train”. We usually play this one at the end of our set, because I’m pretty beat after that. :^P

The making of FF Meta Serif

People interested in the background story of the development of FF Meta Serif can read about it on Unzipped. I was really fortunate to be able to talk to all three designers, receiving production drawings and transcripts of e-mail communications.

An Introduction to Type Design | The Type Designer as Craftsman

After The Type Designer as Artist, the first part of The Type Designer as Craftsman is up at last.

No sign of life

We have no internet connection at the SOTA/Typophile House of Debauchery and Mayhem, plus it is extremely dodgy here in Brighton — I can’t send e-mails and I can’t even connect to the Unzipped CMS, so that’s why there are no new posts for now. Normal service will resume on Monday when I’m back.

Representing the Type ID Board in Brighton

I always wanted to have a T-shirt like that. So I designed one. Check it. ;^)

Last-minute presentation at ATypI Brighton

Last Tuesday I was asked to replace a speaker who has to drop out of the conference at the last minute. I won’t be in the printed programme, but I suppose my presentation details will soon be included in the online programme presentations timetable.

Until this is arranged, below are the details of my presentation in case anyone’s interested in showing up.
