Presented by Peter Bilak to the ATypI Letter.2 conference in Buenos Aires on 4 October 2011
One of the most common questions that type designers face is whether there aren’t enough typefaces already. In this talk, I’ll talk about growing inspirations in type design, as I firmly believe that there are more reasons to make than ever. I’ll talk about language, modern dance, rhythms, and… typography.
