おもしろおかしい国「日本」がどのように彼のデザインワーク，そして人生に影響を与えたか。日本人から見る日本とは異なる，とても興味深い講演がTYPO Berlinで行われた。
Der Titel ist Programm: Uli Staiger erschafft spektakuläre, surreale Bilder – dabei sind seine Werkzeuge nicht Leinwand und Pinsel, sondern Cinema 4D, Photoshop und Grafiktablett. Und die hatte er auch auf der Bühne mit dabei.
It’s not a bold assumption that most of us interact with cars every day. We see them, hear them, sit in them and occasionally get yelled at by people driving them. Karim Habib is not your average “car nerd”, spending his time designing BMW’s with a team of 135 people. Obviously a task and team that big requires a lot of co-ordination, and Karim spoke about how BMW has been doing just that for over 100 years.
Ikarus is the name of a digital outline format invented in the early 70s by Peter Karow. It was one of the earliest developments to describe complex character outlines digitally. A number of foundries started digitizing their type libraries using the Ikarus technology. Doing so required a software package for producing Ikarus fonts. Those software tools are still at the core of what today are known as DTL/URW++ font tools.
During the DTL/URW++ session at the TYPO Labs conference on Wednesday 11 May 2016, Lukas Schneider gave an interesting talk on the LS Cadencer and the related LS Cadenculator (batch) fitting/auto-spacing extensions he has written in Python for Glyphs and RoboFont.
