Un bien bel article de @fadebiaye, panoramique et personnel, taquin et érudit, qui tel un chevalier Bayart (sans peur et sans reproche, donc –on y croise même Eric Gill) nous raconte l'#ATypI 2023 à Paris. https://medium.com/@fadebiaye/mon-premier-atypi-dc407739fcec

Things aren't real until you've got stickers. Come say hi in Paris! #fontra #atypi

Hello #AtypI attendees!

To make new shapes, we first need to make new tools.

Please come to our obtusely named talk “Discourse on the Methods”, Friday morning 10.15, Salle 107.

Together with my boss Matthieu Cortat and colleague Raphaela Häfliger, we will show how at the Écal MA Type Design, we value calligraphy and tool-building as starters for new forma and methodologies for type design beyond the bézier, from the first semester to transdisciplinary research.

Early Bird registration is now open for #ATypI Paris, May 9–14. Member tickets are $495, non-members $575. Students get a great deal at $250 (we’re including pandemic-era graduates too!) https://atypi.org/2023/02/27/all-early-bird-tickets-released-for-atypi-paris/

If people attending the OpenType panel at #ATypI Paris *don’t* pretty much pee themselves in surprise and excitement, I will assume most of them they were not paying attention.

Jason Pamental is a Principal Designer at Chewy.com, helping lead their design system efforts. Based in Providence, Rhode Island, US, Jason also writes, speaks, and leads workshops on web typography. And he’s running for the #ATypI board.

We asked https://typo.social/@jpamental@front-end.social for a sentence that perfectly describes his love for type. “Type is how we hear what we read,” he said, “and on the web, it can speak even more dynamically!”

In love with letterforms since learning to write, David Lemon’s teacher accused him of drawing letters instead of writing them. This naturally led him to Adobe’s Type team in 1986. David retired in 2017; now in Madera, CA, he’s running for the #ATypI board.

We asked David for a sentence that perfectly describes her love for type. He said, “My work was always about trying to make type better for everyone.”
