Typography at the intersection of Design, Technologies and Languages
Saturday 11:45 Gashouder #GH
By Peter Bil'ak
Type design is full of contradictions — it is one of the most specialised design disciplines, but also the one whose results audience cannot escape, being bombarded by type daily. Peter Bilak will discuss what thoughts go into designing a typeface — starting with language, technology and how it affects its design.
