Bis zum äußersten: LucasFonts

TYPO Berlin 2015 Character | Friday, 22 May | 11:00 am | Hall | German

Luc(as) de Groot will present fine type between ugly extremes. He will talk about the un-doability of 32 masters. He will give a life proof of his daily fights with the grid. He will explain details of optical mathematics, providing insights into how design of letterforms – and shapes in general – works.
