FF Amman – The Film is Yanone’s brand new documentary about the making of the Amman typeface super family. It comes in a diptychon of two films: »New (type) face for Amman« (21 min) and the 1 minute high-speed pursuit »Part II«.

| 6 | VideoFontCast #12 — Damon Styer | Living and working in San Francisco, FontShop.com’s hometown, one is immediately aware of hand-painted signs — whether it’s the colorful Spanish-language brushwork of the Mission District or the mid-century marquees, liquor stores, and florists of the East and South Bay. There was a time when every sign was made by hand, and most of them were painted. Now, in an era of computers and vinyl, the craft is sadly rare. Fortunately there are still a few bright spots, like New Bohemia Signs newbohemiasigns.com, where the tradition is carried on to create new markers for the next generation of city dwellers. We visited proprietor Damon Styer at his shop on 11th in SOMA and followed him to a job up the street. He describes the “muscle memory” that drives such quick and legible, yet beautifully imperfect work. Styer’s designs show how even digital fonts can be a model for hand-painted letters, just as hand-painted letters inspired many digital fonts. Here are just a few examples: fontshop.com/fontlist/genres/handmade_signs/ Photos from our shoot: flickr.com/photos/fontshop/sets/72157623937291054/ More San Francisco Signs: flickr.com/photos/fontshop/sets/72157623812970817 More FontCasts: fontcast.com | 26.4.10 | Kostenlos | In iTunes ansehen |
| 7 | VideoFontCast #11 — Jim Parkinson pt. 2 of 2 | In the second half of our interview with Jim Parkinson we take a deeper look at his work, including the Rolling Stone 20th Anniversary cover and logos for the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus and Newsweek.

| 8 | VideoFontCast #11 Preview — Roger Black on Jim Parkinson | Part 2 of our interview with Jim Parkinson is coming up. But first, here's legendary magazine and newspaper designer Roger Black, who has been working with Jim longer than nearly anyone. Roger tells the story of meeting Jim in 1976 at Rolling Stone where he created typeface that would later become Parkinson — “a sort of Nicholas Jenson on acid.“ Parkinson typeface: fontshop.com/fontlist/families/parkinson/ More fonts by Jim Parkinson: fontshop.com/fonts/designer/jim_parkinson/ More about Roger Black: rogerblack.com/ More FontCasts: fontcast.com | 1.4.10 | Kostenlos | In iTunes ansehen |
| 9 | VideoFontCast #10 — Jim Parkinson pt. 1 of 2 | In our search for typographic designers with interesting stories to tell we knew we didn't have to go far to find Jim Parkinson — he's just across the water from FontShop San Francisco in Oakland.Jim is a Bay Area native, returning after a short stint at Hallmark in Kansas City to design the iconic logotype for Rolling Stone during its heyday in the early ’70s. That work led to hundreds of other magazine and newspaper nameplates (Newsweek, Billboard, Esquire, LA Times), band logos, and typeface designs over the next four decades.At 69, Jim is still going strong, wielding FontLab and paintbrush to create new works of art. We met him at his home studio to talk about letters and life, from the days of beatniks and hippies to his takes on art school and businessmen (AKA “cigar-smoking twits”). This is the first of two parts from our visit. Look for Part Two next week.Fonts by Jim Parkinson: j.mp/dwOPKULogos by Jim Parkinson: j.mp/d5mA2ySee more FontCasts: fontcast.com | 25.3.10 | Kostenlos | In iTunes ansehen |

| 12 | VideoFontCast #8 — Crystian Cruz | After years of working as a magazine art director in Brazil, Crystian Cruz took a hiatus to the UK’s University of Reading where he developed his ideas for typeface design.

| 13 | VideoFontCast #7 — Dyana Weissman of The Font Bureau | Kerning is one of those words that is unique to typography. The term that refers to the space between a pair of letters has become synonymous with careful, considered design. But where does it come from? We talk with one of the few experts in the craft of kerning, Dyana Weissman of The Font Bureau. | 11.1.10 | Kostenlos | In iTunes ansehen |
| 14 | VideoFontCast #6 — Erik Spiekermann: Founding FontShop | Mr. Spiekermann runs through the early history of FontShop. Describing the business climate of the time, initial idea for FontShop, and the first few months of the business. He also showcases a number of the early FontShop business artifacts and promotional materials, while going through the FontShop International archives. | 10.12.09 | Kostenlos | In iTunes ansehen |
| 15 | VideoFontCast #5 — Webfonts Week: Erik Spiekermann | Still speaking a-mile-a-minute and showing no signs of slowing down, Erik Spiekermann coyly calls himself an “old guy”. It’s true that he’s been around for every incarnation of type — metal, film, and digital — but he’s no fuddy-duddy when it comes to new technology and new methods. Spiekermann embraced the fledgling world of digital type early on when he founded FontShop 20 years ago, and he’s just as forward-thinking now about licensing type in an era of Web-embeddable fonts. I pulled him aside one morning during the Typ09 conference in Mexico City to talk about the interesting parallels between using web fonts as a service and typesetting the old-fashioned way.

| 16 | VideoFontCast #4 — Webfonts Week: Christian Schwartz | On our fourth day of Webfonts Week I thought it wise to hear from someone who represents the future of type design. Who better than Christian Schwartz? With hundreds of typefaces under his belt by the time he reached age 30, Mr. Schwartz is one of the most accomplished and promising young type designers in the world. Most recently lauded for his custom typefaces for The Guardian, Deutsche Bahn, and the Empire State Building, Christian has also released retail fonts under the banners of FontFont, Emigre, House Industries, Font Bureau, and his own Commercial Type. I asked Christian about what lies ahead for web fonts and how he approaches the challenge of designing type for the screen.

| 17 | VideoFontCast #3 — Webfonts Week: David Berlow of The Font Bureau | Taking the pulse of the font development community would not be complete without hearing from the man who has been active in type design and technology from the beginning of the digital era. David Berlow designed typefaces for Mergenthaler, Linotype, Stempel, and Haas typefoundries in the ’70s, pioneered digital type at Bitstream in the ’80s, and founded The Font Bureau with legendary art director Roger Black in 1989. The Font Bureau library is often the first place magazine and newspaper designers look for new typefaces. Berlow's diverse perspective, experience, and strong opinions give him an insightful, provocative view of Web typography and I think that comes through during our discussion in Mexico City. Enjoy, and please comment with your thoughts.

| 18 | VideoFontCast #2 — Webfonts Week: Simon Daniels of Microsoft | Webfonts Week continues as we chat with a guy who has been instrumental in Microsofts focus on screen typography since 1995. Si Daniels was there for the development of Microsofts Core fonts for the Web, the EOT format, and the ClearType technology and fonts. We talk about where he sees Web typography headed and I ask the question that's on the mind of everyone with a stake in Web embeddable fonts: when will Internet Explorer support the WOFF format?
