TYPO speeches that moved us: Marian Bantjes – Imagining myself
“I spend a lot of time trying to figure out who I am, what I am about, where I came from and where I am headed. Looking at my own work, I engage in self analysis as I follow the threads of influence, to discover what is worthwhile, what is sustainably interesting, and how to evolve into my imagined future.” Marian Bantjes at TYPO Berlin 2008.

Karin von Ompteda explores type – and she is an expert on designing typefaces for the visually impaired. Karin is currently researching for a PhD at the Royal College of Art in London, where her work is focused on integrating scientific and design approaches to typeface legibility.
