Others have learned from the crisis and take social and ecological matters into consideration in their business strategies.

She works on typographic projects at night and on the side. She published her first font family FF Ernestine in 2011.

LECTURE: THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING ERNESTINE A perhaps partly amusing account of Nina Stössinger’s very serious journey into the jungle that is typeface design: A tale of joys and challenges on the path to completing her first publicly released font family, and a musing on learning to draw, and learning to see; on the responsibility that lies in designing letters; on collaboration and self-sufficiency, substance and seriousness, passion and perseverance – on being earnest, and making FF Ernestine.

Supercharged by social media, they can spread like wildfire. This presentation is an excerpt from Metahaven’s forthcoming book, »Black Transparency«. It goes into the studio’s most recent works, and draws on interviews and research carried out in 2011 and 2012.

Thursday Speakers | Gastredner am Donnerstag

Maurice Göldner An independent type and graphic designer.

LECTURE DETAILS Thursday Typo Stage, 2:00 pm

In addition to his own research projects, he teaches »Type and Signs« at the Kunsthochschule Berlin Weißensee.

LECTURE: THE FORGOTTEN TYPOGRAPHIC CULTURE OF THE »BRÜDER BUTTER« There are type designs that people begin to forget, although they should not. One reason is technical progress in production, in the course of which fonts are not transferred to the next medium, and, thus, become lost. Revitalizing a forgotten typographic concept could be the field that a typographer of today could dedicate his time to.

Göldner’s presentation focuses on the former Dresden type foundry of the »Brüder Butter«, and discusses how valuable typographic ideas can be saved and transformed in present times.

Hanif Kureshi Graphic designer/ art director from the Faculty of Fine Arts, M.S. University of Baroda.

LECTURE: PAINTER KURESHI – STREET PAINTERS OF INDIA Handpainted Type is a project that is dedicated to preserving the typographic practice of street painters around India. These painters, with the advent of local DTP (Desktop Publishers) shops, are rapidly going out of business with many of them switching to the quicker, cheaper but uglier vinyls. Many painters have given up their practice altogether.

Hanif Kureshi’s project involves documenting the typefaces of road side painters across India and digitizing it so that it serves as a resource for present and future generations.

Yves Peters A little over seven years ago graphic designer Yves Peters started reviewing type in his Bald Condensed column on Typographer.org.

LECTURE DETAILS Thursday Typo Stage, 4:00 pm

ABOUT In August 2008 he put his graphic design career on the back burner, freeing him to concentrate on his writing and related activities in the digital type business. Yves currently edits The FontFeed, a daily dispatch of recommended fonts, typography techniques, and inspirational examples of digital type at work in the real world; and Unzipped, his blog on the FontShop BeNeLux home page.

Yves’ talent for being able to identify most typefaces on sight is utterly useless in daily life.

LECTURE: FROM MEDAL SCRIPTS TO DIGITAL WRITING Scripts have always fascinated font users. Designers of early scripts in metal type were mostly concerned with creating the perfect letter connections. Nowadays digital type designers try to make scripts look as if they were written by professional letterers, by programming intelligent features into OpenType fonts.

Michael Schirner Managing director of the Schirner Zang Institute of Art and Media GmbH Berlin LECTURE DETAILS Friday Typo Hall, 1:00 pm

LECTURE DETAILS Friday Typo Stage, 1:00 pm

ABOUT DesignersBusiness® is his office for design economy and development. Together with his partners, Kobuss runs the Institute for Design Policy and Development. Both organizations are based in Berlin.

LECTURE: SUSTAINABILITY WHAT? ON THE ART OF SUSTAINABLE DESIGN We are living in a time of nice-sounding but empty clichés. In an attempt to make the trivial seem exceptional, the advertising industry exaggerates and invents ever new concepts, or abuses existing ones. Often enough, they cross the line between truth and lies. One of its most recent victims has been the concept of sustainability.

The worst case is a combination of two concepts that do not correspond to what is meant, as in “sustainable design”. But it gets even worse, when a whole professional group goes and praises the wrong concept as a new field of activity. Should we not first define the terminology, before we pretend that we are offering a new branch or service?

Shoko Mugikura Runs the type design studio Just Another Foundry LECTURE DETAILS Friday Typo Show, 4:00 pm

ABOUT Shoko Mugikura is a Japanese designer based in Berlin. Alongside working on book design projects, she is running the type design studio Just Another Foundry with Tim Ahrens.

Her special interest is the historical development of multi-script (Japanese and European) typography.

LECTURE: VERTICAL? HORIZONTAL? When setting a piece of text in Japanese, this is a question a designer constantly has to ask themselves. Using both orientations is something so normal for us Japanese that not many of us even stop to wonder why this is possible or when and how it all started.

Shoko Mugikura explains how two orientations are used in contemporary Japan, and the intriguing history behind it: it has an inseparable connection with the introduction of bilingual typography with Latin script.
