Erik Spiekermann - Putting back the Face into Typeface
“It is like writing music” - concept comes maybe from sound.
First Method
General character then sketch
Then draw general characters to define ideas
Second method
Find something I like draw it sketch over it
Then draw it from memory - it’ll be different
Images come together in head
“influenced by it but not a copy”
Without letters no signs no knowledge
Physical fascination of letter shape the same fascination of language.
Read more than we used to - everyday even if it’s just a little amount
Language of signs
Twitter Language
All languages adding up rather than fusing together
Satisfaction from influencing people, because of the phase, the ages etc.
“Always teamwork no genius’”
“Issue is to improve things in the public domain”
Designs more open and accessible - communicate more.
American Vote for President
The forms so bad people voted for the wrong president. Graphic Design can change lives.
Conceptually we look to London, New York. Designers so in tune together now it’s hard to tell the difference is in the dialects.
“Type about rhythm and space” not so much about form
Read the contrast
Rhythm of spaces or spaces between words, or outside and inside shape
“Design the silence in between.”
Things are different
Read as much as you can
Listen as much as you can
Meet as many people as you can

When you draw you become a better designer - dealing with spacial relationships
How elements exist in a space?
Lettering stand on its own as logotype
In layout
Or to enhance other design work
Master Disciple relationship important doesn’t exist as much anymore - due to not believing in specialisation.
Good letterer good background in type history
- Difficult without experience to make lettering
- People familiar with some typefaces
- Underlying system
- Dealing with time - perfectionism
