Podcasts about fonts in use

Stephen Coles is an editor and typographer living in Oakland. He is Associate Curator at Letterform Archive and co-publishes Fonts In Use and Typographica.

If Comic Sans showed up at a house party, would it be welcome or shown the door? In this episode, the Wireframe team parties down with a wild array of fonts, good and bad, to learn about the rise of novelty typefaces like Comic Sans and the proliferation of the now all-too-familiar geometric sans serif typeface. They'll find out what the popularity of these fonts says about how we think about the role of typography in today's world. And they'll also talk to some exciting new type designers who think that it's time for a new chapter in the story of type, one that reflects a richer, more diverse set of voices.Join host Khoi Vinh, and producers Pippa Johnstone and Dominic Girard as they explore the personalities of the typefaces we know and love and ideas that are influencing what we'll see next.Emma Tucker is a Comic Sans apologist. She's a senior writer and deputy editor at Creative Review, and believes there's a time and a place for this font. Though she's noticing how its “time and place” has become more subversive and cynical than before. Next, Stephen Coles is a major expert on type. He's the co-publisher of Fonts in Use and Typographica and editorial director at Letterform Archive. He explains how Comic Sans's rise made sense, and follows up with an argument for why design is ready to embrace more expressive fonts, and not fear personality so much.Then, young independent type designers introduce us to a pair of fonts they've created that embrace personality and expression in very personal ways. Tré Seals is the founder of Vocal Type - and we hear about how he made his Martin font, and its connection to the American Civil Rights era. Lynne Yun, of Space Type Continuum, introduces us to her “earthy and bold” font, Ampersandist. Both of these designers explain how they find creative reward, and liberty, in type design.Other fonts mentioned in this episode: Times New Roman, Impact, Arial, Comic Sans, Calibri, Garamond, Windsor, Cooper Black, Roboto and Wingdings. And here's an excellent resource of comic book style alternatives to the font we love to hate. Find a transcript to this episode here.

Nick Sherman is a typo­grapher and typographic consultant based in New York City, co-founder of Fonts In Use and columnist at A List Apart, serves on the board of directors for the Type Directors Club, the Adobe Typography Customer Advisory Board, as well as the artistic board for the Hamilton Wood Type & Printing Museumh He is both a graduate of and consultant for the typeface design program at Cooper Union. He graduated with honors from the Graphic Design pro­gram at MassArt in Boston, where he also taught undergraduate typography and letterpress printing. Nick has worked at Font Bureau, Webtype, and MyFonts, directing web design and promotional material for typefaces in print and digital media. In this interview we talk about Nick’s rituals involving pizza. We wonder if there’re any similarities between pizza and type. Nick explains how he got interested in graphic arts at an early age through music. And how he later on started focussing more on typography. We also talk about the project he did for the Hamilton Wood Type Museum and his work for MyFonts, Font Bureau, Webtype and Fonts in Use. We wonder if Nick can see how type trends go, where it’s getting influenced by, and if he thinks that we’re reaching some sort of a saturation point? Recorded at the Robothon 2015 Conference in The Hague, the Netherlands.

Indra Kupferschmid is a German typographer, writer and teacher based in Bonn and Saarbrücken. After studying visual communication in Weimar, she founded her own studio. Since 1997 she has been teaching typography and type design, since 2006 as Professor at the Academy of Fine Arts in Saarbrücken. We ask Indra how she got interested in typography and graphic design. We talk about some interesting projects she has been involved in. Like her writings related to Helvetica. We wonder if her opinion on the typeface has changed now she knows so much about its background story. Because of Indra’s strong interest in typeface classification we like to hear more on the subject. And we also discuss the Fonts In Use website, the online archive of typography usage, and it’s added value. Recorded at the HBK Saar – Workshop Typographic Chinese Whispers II – in Saarbrücken Germany.
