Collabtype

Who wants to collab-develop a typeface with me, whether it's for the Collab or not?

hmm.. i'm interested but how would one go about doing such a thing? It seems like a very technical procedure..

That's what i was wondering too. I'm sure there's programs out there that streamline that kinda work.

Well for one, Danh mentioned this program called Fontographer and it's really easy to either make your typeface from scratch or take an existing typeface and manipulate it.

But what I was thinking was more of creating one from scratch based on certain rules (which could or not be related to the philosophy/concept of the collab). And if we like it, we could fontographer it (though you generally have to buy the program) and apply it to our Collab stuff.

but nonetheless, it's definitely something that's worth considering because it's relatively easy. AND it's a good employer-search thing to display at the show, that we care about typography.

Sounds good to me. We should meet and do this. I'll send you an email.
