Gary Hustwitt: We built this City

Gary Hustwitt loves Graphic Designer. So much so that he decided to make a film about it. Despite never picking up a camera before ‘Helvetica’ marked his directorial debut, and his fascination with typography was brought to life. 4 years and another film, ‘Objectified’ later, Hustwitt treated the TYPO Audience to a sneak peak of his new offering, ‘Urbanized’, and they weren’t disappointed. As with his previous offerings the succinct title nods towards the subject matter, cities and buildings, though instead of form it focusses on the people that live within cities, and the strong sense of community spirit that takes shape in many forms.

Kutlu Çanlıoğlu and Titus Nemeth: The raster tragedy

The development of a typographic accent for the BBC World Service – judging by the account of Kutlu Canlioglu and Titus Nemeth – was always going to be a challenging, and in some respects thankless one. But in the process of trying to reconcile 27 tongues and 9 languages, they came across, stumbled through and ultimately succeeded in resolving some fairly major challenges.

TYPO speeches that moved us: Jonathan Barnbrook – Type is image

The only time a TYPO speech began with “Hello you motherfuckers! You bunch of wankers! You ‘ve got small penises and fat arses!” was at TYPO 2008, “Image”

Thus having tested how polite the translaters were, Barnbrook  guided us through the pulsating universe of his type designs, his faces ranging from Apocalypso to Tourette, altogether 109 specimen. He stressed that although his fonts tend to display abstract letter shapes, they are highly representational of our social and political surroundings. We learned that calling a font after a serial killer can be bad for one’s image and why it is that drawing typefaces is crucial to characterize the epoch in which one lives.
