Comic Sans Pro
April 5th, 2011
Incredibile ma vero sono uscite 2 nuove versioni del comic sans (Italic e Bol Italic), un font così definito dal suo creatore:
Se ami il Comic Sans, non ne sai molto di tipografia; se lo odi, non ne sai veramente nulla di tipografia. In entrambi i casi, dovresti scegliere un altro hobby.

Ogni legno ha il suo tarlo
March 22nd, 2011
Vittorio De Sica era molto grotesk, Gino Cervi più lineare, Alida Valli parecchio graziata, Amedeo Nazzari un po’ inglese. Sulle locandine c’erano i loro nomi, chi c’era dietro?
Perché il Playbill ha le grazie così esagerate? Come si facevano i poster prima del computer? Ma, soprattutto, non posso usare mela Z???
Per sapere tutto questo e altro ancora sui caratteri in legno…

Interview with UWE
March 3rd, 2011
Every autumn, some remarkable visitors arrive on FontStruct. For a few weeks, a great storm of creative energy rages through the gallery. Our servers creak and groan. Bricks fly in all directions. And then, as suddenly as they came, they go; leaving behind some exceptional FontStructions and, everywhere, the mysterious tag: UWE.
This year, we succeeded in tracking down some of the people behind this strange phenomenon. We asked them to tell us about their work, and they very kindly agreed …
Who are you, and what is UWE?
We are the course team on the “Communicating with Words” module at The University of the West of England, Bristol, UK. Module Leader Gabriel Solomons with supporting lecturers John Paul Dowling, Jez Hattosh-Nemeth and Stephen Monger.
How do you use FontStruct in your teaching work?
The students who participate in the FontStruct project are in the first year of their three year BA in Graphic Design. In part one of the project they are tasked to choose one word from a list of themes such as “Dynamic”, “Reflection”, “Chaos” or “Decay” to then create a display face of at least 26 characters plus a basic set of punctuation. We encourage the students to spend time collecting information and materials from the environment. These will be used to inform the production of their digital typeface so they must consider how the materials generated (by sketching, photographing, etc.) can result in a modular, grid-based font. Students are encouraged to apply a wide range of image-making skills to the collection of their research. It is in the translation of these recorded visual elements from location to the making of letterforms, which provide the individual quality of the student’s typefaces.

So you need a typeface?
August 18th, 2010
So you need a typeface is an alternative way on how to choose fonts (or just be inspired) for a specific project, not just by browsing through the pages of FontBook. The list is (very loosely) based on the top 50 of the “Die 100 besten schriften”.
For exemple:
