I want to talk a little bit about using historic material in type design. I’ve been thinking a lot about what it means to make ‘revivals’, how much it influences our view of type, and what lessons we can learn from historic material that ultimately have greater value than specific designs.
We’ll discuss hero worship, the hidden costs of using historic material as-is, the craft of type design more than the individual products of that craft, and a whole bunch of fun tangents.
