(Bald) Condensed Views Delayed Due To Hectic Schedule

Yesterday I had a wonderful evening catching up with my San Francisco colleagues Michael Pieracci and Meghan Arnold in Kaslik, a simply lovely Lebanese restaurant run by lovely people serving lovely food. Recommended!

This meant however that I only got back to my hotel after midnight. That’s what you get when the last presentation only ends at 21:00 / 9 PM, my only qualm with TYPO conferences. Fun bit of trivia – returning to the hotel was made so much easier when we hit one of the miniliths Tim Fendley and his team designed for Legible London. They do work wonderfully.

Today I wanted to follow Type Day in Jeffrey Hall, but the dodgy internet connection is virtually non-existent there. As people seem to be following my live Twitter reports – which earned me quite a few new followers – I’ll stick to proceedings in Logan Hall. My full report will have to be written in between everything else and after the conference ends, so I don’t know when it will be ready. One thing I can already say is that yesterday’s program was quite intense, diverse and very interesting, with only one presentation lacking a little. Today is just as exciting. This will most probably go down as a memorable first edition of a very well run conference. Kudos to the organizers and the team.

Yves Peters

Graphic Designer, Rock Drummer (Ghent, Belgium)

Yves Peters is a graphic designer / rock drummer / father of three who tries to be critical about typography without coming across as a snob. Former editor-in-chief of The FontFeed, he has found a new home on FontShop News. Yves writes about type and talks at conferences. His ability to identify most typefaces on sight is utterly useless in daily life.
