Introduction by Veronika Burian
Introduction
Digging for Gold
Johannes Gutenberg would probably marvel with awe at the plethora of options displayed in this compendium of contemporary typefaces. Could he have imagined what opportunities his inventions would kick off and ultimately produce this sea of options? Probably not. Who could have foreseen the technical sophistication and ease we have available at our fingertips today, almost 600 years ago? But how to navigate this seemingly unlimited offering, with new fonts being added almost by the hour? Graphic designers have a responsibility to the reader when choosing typefaces. They sit between content and reader and, for better or worse, they shape the way the public interacts with information. It’s no small task and should be taken seriously. Context is everything. Only by this synergy can a typeface’s full effect develop as a whole. Its quality and appropriateness can best be judged in relation to content, function, and target audience that is external to the typeface. Therefore don’t be shy and ask type foundries for a testing license or use services that allow installing demo or temporary versions of fonts to verify your choice in the actual layout. You’ll be surprised! This also gives you a better grip at evaluating the font’s quality. Humanity seems to have a common sense when it comes to the notion of quality in general. For philosopher John Locke quality is an idea of a sensation or a perception. For business guru Philip Crosby it is conformance to requirements and fashion mogul Giorgio Armani defines quality as being the difference between style and fashion. The typographer Dario Zuffo even claims that the question of the quality of type, typography, and graphic design is the question of general quality of life. Most professional type designers, myself included, would agree that strength of aesthetic excellence, refinement of shapes, consistency of features and color, re-usability, and technical performance are trademarks of high caliber (type)designs. Seasoned designers usually recognize quality with relative ease, for the newcomers the process is a bit more tricky. However, there exist some clear give-aways of poor font quality. These include dark spots, absence of optical corrections, uneven letter spacing, inconsistent stroke width, contrast, or modulation, missing and unfitting diacritical marks, and a general lack of design consistency. A font selection process that is fully aware of the complexities that go beyond decorative issues can only help to achieve better design, and it will hopefully guide graphic designers through a journey of type discovery. Selecting the right typefaces does make a difference—it sets the tone for our communication and relationship with the world.

Design of Diacritical Marks By Murat Çil
Diacritical marks are often called accent marks. The etymological origin of the word diacritic is based on the word diakritikós, derived from the word diakrinō which means distinguishing in Ancient Greek. Diacritical marks are marks that distinguish the phonetic and / or semantic values of words by being placed below, above, or integrated into letters. They may be small marks in form of letters or other marks that have their own unique forms.
8
Following the etymological introduction, I would like to focus on the basic problem: The design of diacritical marks … I will not be discussing the designs of the diacritical marks such as the distance of marks to the main glyph, structural harmony, optical alignment and so forth. I will not be discussing clichés and common parameters like these. These are not enough to solve the basic problem, no matter how well designed they might be. Because these are not solutions to the fundamental problem. These are the accepted parameters of dogmatic approaches. I want to emphasize on the ignored functions of the diacritical marks and therefore the lack of attention to their designs. How strange is it that the designs of the diacritical marks almost have not changed for 2,000 years while the ox head has evolved to the Carolingian minuscule and then to geometric Sans Serif. The marks have changed in structure, were often altered for calligraphic convenience rather than typographic or linguistic reasons.

Design of Diacritical Marks
In my introduction, I mentioned “the basic problem.” What I mean by the basic problem is that diacritical marks have not been standardized throughout centuries and as a result, typographical problems have emerged. It is of course impossible to expect any form of standardization for diacritical marks when letter anatomies are changing and will continue to change. As Neville Brody said, as long as our desire to discover the secret of letters continues as type designers, we will continue to design new typefaces and therefore letters will continue its transformation. But the status of the diacritical marks is different from that of the basic glyphs. The standards I am discussing are not tiny, cute, devilish standards with details on the scale of one-tenth of a millimeter. What I am discussing are standards that will emphasize the phonetics and semantic values of diacritical marks, making the text color (typographical gray) more balanced and increasing the level of comfort while reading. I am talking about standards that remove diacritical marks from the status of letters’ accessories and make them feel like real letters. Therefore, I want to discuss two ignored functions of diacritical marks in current design. The first ignored function is their phonetic and semantic value and the second one is texture of typography.

Zoom in, Zoom Out— Type Design at ECAL / University of Art and Design Lausanne By Matthieu Cortat, Head of the Program
14
After five years of activity, ECAL Master Type Design has made its own place in the European type education landscape, renewing this flagship discipline of Swiss graphic design. Our approach is rooted in that history, with a twentyfirst-century perspective. For us, characteristic style is not everything. Neither are counter-forms. Neither are concepts. Neither is history. Neither is originality. Neither are technical constraints. Neither are variable fonts. A letterform, whether it is a lettering or a typeface, is not a piece of art, not a crafted fancy design item, not a mathematically-engineered workable tool: it is all of that at the same time, at varying degrees. Just like any other art school, our production is the outcome of our students minds, tastes, and way of working, which we lead and help to develop. This brings forth a large variety in creations, from 3D-animated experimental forms to straightforward black and white dry text fonts; from book design, including text editing and the commissioning of photographers, to studies of script systems. This variety is probably what shapes our identity as a type education program. Our students do not have to make fonts for their diploma. On the contrary, we always encourage them to resist the frequent tendency among type designers to circle around black and white vectors. Type design is part of graphic design: colors, shades of gray, grids, contrasts, textures, photographs, illustrations, are all interacting with the letter. The passionate type nerds we all are sometimes forget that fact. Acknowledging it helps us to get rid of the blind spots.

Two Different Years ECAL Master Type Design is a two-year program, with a progression in both pedagogy and expectations. The first year is quite hectic for many students, with an intense workload. Several classes led by renowned professionals help them explore different fields related to type design. Alice Savoie asks them to take a historical model, and to question the notion of revival, tribute, or inspiration, to produce a text font. Kai Bernau focuses on tools and how they shape letterforms: students are invited to build a DIY instrument to draw letterforms. They also develop a type family in different optical sizes. The class of Bruno Maag is a crash course on custom font. The whole group of students has to produce a workable typeface with several cuts within a few months, for a real client. This includes team organization, file sharing, ego management, and get students to build themselves a workflow enabling them to make a living out of type design. The classes of Radim Peško and me are more experimental, letting the students explore display forms around the idea of translation. Here, we focus more on methodology rather than outcome. To open up the perspective of our type lover students, Marie Lusa and Julia Born ask them to conceive graphic identities, posters, and publications, editing texts as well as images: for us, a typeface is made to live out of type specimens and Instagram posts. As engineered software, a digital typeface requires a certain amount of technical elements, including coding and mastering, topics that our students discover with Chi-Long Trieu. In the second semester, an invited professor guides the class through the creation of letterforms for a different script than Latin. Past sessions included Cyrillic (with Maria Doreuli and Krista Radoeva), Armenian (with Hrant Papazian), Arabic (with Kristyan Sarkis), and Greek (with Gerry Leonidas). It is also an occasion for discussing the current situation of different scripts, the questions of cultural appropriation, westernization, and politics within a globalized type market.

Typeface! Classification? By Eva Kubinyi
As existing classification systems are outdated, a research team at the FH Aachen—University of Applied Sciences created a Mobile App with a new approach for teaching identification and classification of typefaces, beyond national norms. The project typ/o was presented to the public at ATypI 2020, and is now online: typ-o.eu

We live in fast-paced times—the constant progress of computer technology triggers the process of type design and generates an overwhelming quantity of thrilling new typefaces. In this ever-changing context, teaching typography becomes more and more challenging. Previous typeface classification systems are outdated and new ways of conveying knowledge are required. This is why a research team, under the direction of Professor Eva Kubinyi and Robin Coenen, has developed the mobile app typ/o, which is geared towards a new teaching concept. The basic idea is to motivate students to investigate typography with curiosity, using contemporary digital tools. For this purpose, typ/o is conceived as a new, playful, and interactive self-learning offer. Its goal is not to automatically identify individual fonts, but to facilitate the learning of how to recognize their underlying formal principles. In the “Learn” section of the app, basic information about how typefaces are grouped into categories and subcategories is conveyed, whereas in the “Identify” section, users can compare typefaces found in everyday life with the models shown and undertake a formal step-by-step identification. As a result, users increase their typographical knowledge, and build up a typographical reference system. This Happened Thus Far—on Typeface Classifications The typ/o project is based on an extensive research about typeface classifications. The scope has been limited to Latin script. Since the first typeface
Typeface! Classification?
classification, established by Francis Thibaudeau and published 1924 in the Manuel français de typographie moderne, there have been numerous approaches. Historic and contemporary propositions from the 20th and 21st century have been collected and compared by the research team. Existing “official” classifications like Vox ATypI 1962 1, DIN 16518:1964 2, British Standards BS 2961:1967 ³ have been considered. These classification systems are taught to students, but they are rarely used in practice. Critical voices arose as soon as they were published, questioning the historical approach (instead of structural analysis). The concept of a “Non-Latin” category is completely outdated from from today’s point of view. Although attempts for new approaches have been undertaken, including AI and studies based on measurements of formal details, there is no contemporary international terminology or classification system one can rely on. As a result, contemporary resources like websites of foundries, blogs, or literature about typography mainly use their own terminology and subdivisions. Many typographers and graphic designers have even given up hope and state that typeface classification is an impossible task. An important theoretical foundation in teaching typography is the principle of form, based on writings from Gerrit Noordzij (especially his groundbreaking The Stroke—Theory Of Writing, first published in 1985), and theorized by Indra Kupferschmid and Hans Peter Willberg amongst others. Especially in text typefaces, one can distinguish between dynamic, static, and geometric letterforms. Seeing and understanding these underlying formal principles helps to make a better use of type. This approach bears a strong didactic potential and should be considered for typeface classification. The German DIN committee “Schriften” is actually working on a new typeface classification, including subcategories according to formal principles.

New Perspectives—a Three-Level Framework typ/o takes advantage of typographical terms and group divisions from current international practice. Rather than proposing a new classification system, the project suggests a new method. Defining common terms (with international correspondences) and using multiple tags seems to be a more appropriate and contemporary approach than establishing a new matrix or

Carta Nueva
Carta Nueva is the typographic interpretation of a mid-19th century pointed-nib calligraphy model from Barcelona. Downward strokes establish a consistent beat, while upward strokes are quiet moments of rest and disappear upon contact with stems. Around this tempo, the nib winds, loops, and arabesques. This lively twirl is accentuated most in the ornamental uppercase letters.

In the UI version, all weights occupy the same width and are adjustable with variable font technology. Its aesthetics stem from monospace typography, however, Igual UI has different widths between letters, but not between weights. This way, the legibility of large letters, such as m or w, is not sacrificed. The standard version has proportional widths, ideal for use in branding and overall communication, but always with the same mechanical, precise and rational aesthetic.

Lurk collection was designed in 2019 especially for Yury Dud’s YouTube channel. 18 styles of the font are not just Bold, Light, Extended, and Condensed styles we’re used to, but a wide range of tones: neutral, harsh, smooth, noisy, discreet, etc. Such a tool allows for telling different stories in the same single typographic language, and makes it possible to utilize very little additional graphics—all it takes is a typeface. The collection consists of Lurk A and Lurk B. Each is equipped with its own specific set of tones, classified in an elementary, fact-based way.

Stinger
In the crowded panorama of contemporary grotesque typefaces, all aiming to stark geometric perfection, Stinger stands out with its bold choices and strong personality: subverting the traditional relationship between thick verticals and thin horizontals made it perfect for eye-catching advertisements. From the calligraphy-inspired terminals to the logo-ready sculptural approach, each variant manages to look striking without forgetting readability and flexibility lessons of modern reverse-contrast.

P22 Tuscaloosa
Tuscaloosa is a hybrid Script that includes Tuscan (bifurcated) serif treatments. The design of Tuscaloosa began as a set of organically-formed initials, the Tuscan serifs being reminiscent of shoots and leaves bursting forth. Tuscaloosa also derives inspiration from the late Victorian era, when the development of newspaper and poster advertising led to extremes of weight in the main strokes. The font is intended to convey an aura of excitement and fun that characterized those times! Design: 2020, Ted Staunton → p. 442

Index OpenType Features
Proportional Oldstyle Oldstyle numerals are typeset with varying heights, based on the line of running text. This allows them to integrate more smoothly with mixed uppercase and lowercase letters and small capitals. Proportional figures have variable spacing between each letter. Tabular Oldstyle Oldstyle numerals are typeset with varying heights, based on the line of running text. They integrate better into mixed uppercase and lowercase letters and small capitals. Tabular figures each have the same width and are preferably used when numerals will be read in columns. Proportional Lining The height of lining numerals is usually based on the height of the capital letters and uniform throughout. The figures are positioned on the baseline and align with the capital height of the typeface. Proportional lining figures have variable spacing between each letter.
Tabular Lining Tabular lining figures have the same height as capital letters. Like proportional lining figures, they are uniform in height, but all have the same width. Tabular lining figures are preferably used when numerals will be read in columns. Standard Ligatures A ligature replaces a sequence of characters with a single ligature glyph, where characters may overlap or could be better positioned. The most common are f-ligatures, where f is combined with its following letter to adjust spacing and reach a more pleasing appearance. Discretionary Ligatures Special ligatures, oftentimes solely aesthetic combinations, which can be applied at the user’s discretion to offer variation. Historical Ligatures These are ligatures like long s combinations, which are obsolete in today’s writing but can be applied at the user’s discretion.

All Caps All letters of a word or text are set in capital or uppercase letters.
Small Caps Lowercase characters are replaced by glyphs that look like uppercase letters but reduced in height and weight, close to the surrounding lowercase glyphs. Capitals to Small Caps Capital letters are replaced by small caps, which are glyphs that look like uppercase letters but reduced in height and weight, close to the surrounding lowercase glyphs. Petite Caps Small Caps are 30 % larger than the x-height of the font’s letters, and 70 % of the height of full capital letters. To differentiate between these two character types, the x-height form is called Petite Caps, preserving the name Small Caps for the larger variant. Capitals to Petite Caps Capital letters are replaced by Petite Caps. Superscript Characters that are set above the baseline of the typeface, oftentimes to indicate a foot-called superscript. They are usually smaller than the lowercase letters.
Titling Alternates Characters with special forms created for Display use, which are meant to be used in large sizes. Swashes Swashes are energetic terminals on a glyph. You can also call them tails or entry strokes. Often times they can be found on the Italics of a serif font. Contextual Swashes Contextual Swashes are swashes added to letters based on the characters around them. All Alternates Presents all alternate forms of the chosen character in a list.
Yearbook of Type 2021 / 22
Fractions A single mathematical glyph, which combines two or more numbers separated by a slash. Alternative Fractions An alternative single mathematical glyph, which combines two or more numbers separated by a slash. Numerator A number, which is usually smaller than the lowercase letters of a typeface and meant to be used above the slash in a fraction glyph. Denominator A number which is usually smaller than the lowercase letters of a typeface and meant to be used below the slash in a fraction glyph. Ornaments Decorative symbols, which are sometimes included in a typeface character set and match its temper and style. Arrows Symbols showing direction, which are included in a typeface character set to match with its temper.
Stylistic Alternates This OpenType feature offers various alternatives to different letters and letter combinations, giving the user more options. Some change only the appearance of a single character, others the look of a whole word or phrase. Stylistic Sets Stylistic Sets group different sets of Stylistic Alternates together based on appearance, so that choosing between several Stylistic Alternate options becomes simpler for the user.

Ordinals Ordinal numbers indicate a progression and are often times written with numerals followed by letter suffixes. In English, for example, you would write 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc., with the suffix acting as an ordinal indicator.
Contextual Alternates Applies a second substitution feature based on a match of a character pattern within a context of surrounding patterns.
Historical Forms Obsolete forms of characters, which can be applied at the user’s discretion. Slashed Zero The Slashed Zero is an alternative to the number 0 (zero), with a slash through it. The glyph is often used to differentiate the number zero (0) from the capital letter O. Justification Alternates Used mainly in cursive languages like Arabic, where the justification is usually achieved not by extending the space between the characters but by extending the width of some characters.
457
Subscript Characters that are set at or below the baseline of the typeface, often seen in chemical equations or the like. Usually subscript is smaller than the lowercase letters.

It’s great to see that more people than ever understand how important typography is. The choice of a typeface and the design of a text can have a dramatic impact on its meaning. Typefaces don’t need words to convey a message. The responsibility for graphic designers in choosing the right typeface is therefore crucial. But how do you find the right typeface in the infinite universe of possibilities? The Yearbook of Type 2021 / 22 makes it easy to get an overview of recently published typefaces from around the world while understanding their visual language. Each typeface and -family is presented on a doublepage spread. On the left side, a specimen gives an idea of possible applications and shows the beauty and character of each typeface. This year’s theme is music. As music conveys emotions through melodies and lyrics, typography does so through its form and balance of letters. The right page provides detailed information about the designers and foundries, as well as an overview of the typefaces’ features. The Yearbook of Type is complemented by a series of essays that offer background information about typography, history, technical details and how-to guides, and the latest trends in current type design. An index sorts typefaces by classifications, besides listing designers, foundries, and OpenType features. Last but not least, an online microsite presents all featured fonts, so that users can test or purchase them. Feel inspired and listen to type, the soundtrack of our lives!
