Jens Kutílek gives insight into FF Hertz’s origin, experimentation, and refinement processes, and names the models admired and drawn from along the way.

David Sudweeks sits down with internationally recognized editor and typographer John D. Berry to discuss his introduction to type, what interesting problems have come to typography lately, and what’s going to solve them.

With the publication of Johannes Erler’s Spiekermann monograph Hello I am Erik last year the readers also witnessed the presentation of a new typeface by Erik Spiekermann: Real. Almost one year later, FF Real™ was released as an extended family consisting of text and headline versions in 13 weights each, by FontFont. In the following interview Erik Spiekermann and Ralph du Carrois discuss the origin of the typeface, design characteristics and technical details as well as a world première.

David Sudweeks interviews Dublin-based type designer and letterer Max Phillips on how he got started, what motivates him, and what lessons he’s taken from his design process.

Next in our At Home With series, I reached out to type designer Xavier Dupré in his Cambodian home in Phnom Penh. (I rather would have loved to arrive in person, but since Xavier travels quite a lot, he was gracious to let me conduct this interview by mail.)
