In 1938, Frederic Goudy designed California Oldstyle for University of California Press.

In 1958, Lanston issued it as Californian.

Carol Twombly digitized the Roman version 30 years later.

David Berlow revised it for Font Bureau with italic and small caps. Jane Patterson designed the bold. In 1999, assisted by Richard Lipton & Jill Pichotta, Berlow designed the black and the text and display series.

Designer Robert Slimbach, 1992 In designing Minion font, Robert Slimbach was inspired by the timeless beauty of the fonts of the late Renaissance.

Minion was created primarily as a traditional text font but adapts well to today’s digital technology, presenting the richness of the late baroque forms within modern text formats.

T   Precarious Skaters enjoy campus obstacles despite inhibiting ordinances

by Melissa Patzwaldt

student life|

53 |skaters

rom the Brickyard to Carmichael, from Gorman Street to Hillsborough, skaters frequent the campus in their anti-trend clothing and specialty boards and bikes. Constantly trying new tricks and daring gravity to land correctly, these students enjoy spending their time on wheels either by going to class or just for recreation, despite the rules inhibiting their fun.

Walker Owen, a sophomore in civil engineering, said he skated mainly for his own amusement, and that he enjoyed the different areas on campus which allowed for different types of stunts. He said he was concerned about the rules on campus that prohibited skating within 50 feet of an academic building.

“I use the railings on campus because they’re fun to glide on,” Owen said. “Thankfully, I’ve never gotten caught, but I know Campus Police is always out to write tickets for us [skaters].”

Students found guilty of skating in restricted areas on campus, such as on railings and benches, are fined $50, according to the parking and transportation ordinances found on the school Web site.

Travis Varner, a sophomore in agricultural education, said he only likes to skate when there is no one else around for fear of getting caught.

“I like to use the areas with concrete and asphalt,” Varner said. “The only problem is that those are the areas where the cops can see you the best so I’m restricted to skating at nighttime.”

Students that participate in skating or biking expressed their ideas on a university sponsored skate park where they could skate, free of fear, anytime of the day.

“There should be a designated place on campus where students are allowed to skate for recreational purposes,” Mark Gusmann, a freshman in graphic design, said. “We could build our own obstacles to grind on so we are not damaging school property.”

Derek Bordeaux, a sophomore in civil engineering, decided to fight the odds and skated during the daylight hours instead of at nighttime when it is less conspicuous.

“I’ve been written up before by Campus Police, and it was basically a slap on the wrist,” Bordeaux said. “I’d rather get quality practice time in during the day when I can see the straights better, than fall down at night because I couldn’t see something.”

The parking and transportation ordinances state that “skaters may not damage any property;” however, according to David Hatch from facilities operations, skaters continued to damage school property.

“The majority of costs around campus go to nuisance repairs and painting,” Hatch said. “We are constantly working to repair benches and railings that have been caused by students who skate on campus.”

When it comes down to the wire, skaters are willing to skate despite the risk of getting tickets for damaging school property.

“It’s a real pain running for the Campus Police every night and always have to look over your shoulder 24/7,” Varner said. “But it’s worth it to get out there and be able to do what you love. Who else can say that they love to pump hard, go fast and carve it up.”

The Magellan font family is a roman in the Swedish Grace tradition. And since the Swedish language has long words, Magellan is a bit narrower than most romans. Magellan was an honorable prize winner in the Morisawa (Japan) International Typeface Design Competition in 1993.

Mrs Eaves is an historical revival based on the design of Baskerville. “In translating this classic to today’s digital font technology, I focused on capturing the warmth and softness of letterpress printing that often occurs due to the ‘gain’ of impression and ink spread.” — Zuzana Licko, 1996

Steeped in the virtues of classical book typography, Hoefler Text is a comprehensive family of typeface designs which was originally developed for Apple Computer.

Hoefler Text was designed with the healthy conceit that such an extensive family of typefaces might anticipate every need of a demanding typographer. It is for this reason that the family includes 27 designs: aside from the three weights with small caps and swashes are a few additions, packed into the alternate fonts, hopefully of service to attentive designers.

AeW[[W\U CROSSING THE FINISH LINE

The menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s swimming teams each put together a series of impressive victories and had some outstanding individual performances in what coach Brooks Teal called â&#x20AC;&#x153;a season of ups and downs.â&#x20AC;?

The menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team included sensational freshman diver Vitor Assuncao, sophomore swimming phenom Cullen Jones and last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s returning MVP, sophomore swimmer Steve Cowling. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Vitor and Cullen were both highlights,â&#x20AC;? said Teal, as Assuncao notched an impressive 22 diving victories and took second place in the three-meter at the ACC Championships, while Jones won the 50m and 100m freestyle events at the ACC Championships, earning a berth in the NCAA Championships.

Unfortunately, the team suffered a number of setbacks as well. Not only was Cowling, whom Teal called â&#x20AC;&#x153;our best returning swimmer,â&#x20AC;? beset by injuries throughout the year, but junior swimmer Kevin Barkley and diver T.J. Ferguson also struggled with injuries.

Teal said of Ferguson, â&#x20AC;&#x153;when you only have three [divers], thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a big loss.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were going to be a thin team, anyway,â&#x20AC;? said Teal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And then we were '&

Nonetheless, the team certainly enjoyed a successful year.

One of the highlights of the year was the mid-season victory over Virginia Tech. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That was a combined win [both the menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s] over a team that came in ranked a little higher than we were,â&#x20AC;? said Teal.

The womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team included sophomore diver Molly Culberson and freshman swimmer Rebecca Perry. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One of the high points this year was Rebeccaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s performance [at the ACC Championships],â&#x20AC;? said Teal.

Culberson also captured 8 first-place finishes on each of the one and three-meter boards during the season.

Both teams had high potential. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of the strength in the menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team is in our sophomores and juniors,â&#x20AC;?

Teal said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of the strength on our womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s side is in our freshmen and sophomores. The teams are a year away from reaching their potential. We feel weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re poised.â&#x20AC;? Black

Myriad was designed in 1992 by Robert Slimbach, Carol Twombly, and the design staff at Adobe Systems.

It’s a humanist sans serif typeface, meaning that the forms are primarily based on classic romans, much like conventional or classic serifed fonts but without the serifs. Myriad also has subtle geometric shaping and monotone color, balanced by varying letter widths and open counter shapes. A readable and friendly face, Myriad works well for both text and display typography. A headline font and the playful “sketch” and “tilt” versions add versatility.

Myriad Pro, an expansion completed in the late 1990s, includes weights from Light to Black and Condensed to Extended, as well as oldstyle figures, Greek, Cyrillic and Central European characters.

The inspiration for HTF's Gotham isn't the work of a single iconic architect, but the lettering style common on buildings and signs throughout mid-century Manhattan. Tobias Frere-Jones celebrated his return to his native New York by designing a typeface based on the unnoticed everyday signage around him, starting with the lettering that labels the Port Authority Bus Terminal, the city's central hub for long-distance buses, a block west of Times Square.

The actual letterforms have rounded, generous proportions; uniform thickness of strokes; extreme simplicity of form; and the suggestion that they were drawn by an engineer. The ends of curved strokes are cut off diagonally, straight across the stroke, rather than horizontally or vertically; but diagonal straight strokes all end horizontally.
