June 2011 Breaking Boundaries, Paola Antonelli 28 PRINT 65.3 JUNE 2011 DIALOGUE STEVEN HELLER BREAKING BOUNDARIES She is the best friend that graphic design and typography have in the museum world. Conceiver of such exhibitions as “Safe: Design Takes on Risk,” “Humble Masterpieces: Everyday Marvels of Design,” and “Design and the Elastic Mind,” Paola Antonelli, senior curator in the Architecture and Design department at the Museum of Modern Art, New York, seamlessly integrates 2-D and 3-D design in a standard-setting manner. Over the last year she has further pushed the museum forward into the digital age by acquiring for MoMA’s design collection the @ sign and, just recently, 23 digital typefaces.

Against its intended purpose, ff Meta very quickly became one of the most popular typefaces of the computer era, and has been referred to as the Helvetica of the 90s – not necessarily a compliment. It is used a lot in magazines, from the Normal weight in small point sizes for captions up to the Black version for large headlines. Hairline, Thin and Light were added in 2003. Once a publishing house commissioned a Black Condensed for the headlines of a new magazine. It unfortunately ceased publication after a few issues, but ff Meta Black Condensed survived. This version was the basis for the complete Condensed family, digitized by Ole Schäfer. Since headlines need to be bold before anything else, ff Meta Condensed has one additional weight compared with ff Meta: Extra Bold Condensed, which sits between Bold and Black. ff Meta Condensed contains all weights with Old Style as well as Lining Figures, there are fractions, ligatures, kerned lining figures and also the popular Meta arrows. The normal ff Meta already saves more than 12 % of space compared to a regular sans serif. ff Meta Condensed is another 12 % more condensed without being 24 % less readable. about Erik Spiekermann, born 1947, studied History of Art and English in Berlin.

  • Alien Heads Found in Georgia
    Georgia Alien heads found in Georgia Georgia is a serif typeface designed in 1993 by Matthew Carter and hinted by Tom Rickner for the Microsoft Corporation. The font is inspired by Scotch Roman designs of the 19th century and was based on designs for a print typeface in the same style Carter was working on when contacted by Microsoft. Georgia were released by Microsoft in 1996 as part of the Core Fonts for the Web collection. The typeface's name referred to a tabloid headline claiming“Alien heads found in Georgia.” As a transitional serif design, Georgia shows a number of traditional features of rational serif typefaces from around the early 19th century, such as alternating thick and thin strokes, ball terminals, a vertical axis and an italic taking inspiration from calligraphy. It features a large x-height (tall lower-case letters) and its thin strokes are thicker than would be common on a typeface designed for display use or the higher resolution of print. Besides, Georgia's bold is also unusually bold and bolder than most bolds.

  • Tracing Meta
    MiraCosta College / oceanside MAT 155 Graphic Design 2 : Typography Min Choi // Fall 2017 TRACING META INFO ABOUT META FF Meta is a humanist sans-serif typeface family designed by Erik Spiekermann and released in 1991 through his FontFont library. According to Spiekermann, FF Meta was intended to be a “complete antithesis of Helvetica”, which he found “boring and bland”. It originated from an unused commission for the Deutsche Bundespost (West German Post Office). Throughout the 1990s, FF Meta was embraced by the international design community with Spiekermann and E. M. Ginger writing that it had been dubiously praised as the Helvetica of the 1990s. FF Meta has been adopted by numerous corporations and other organizations as a corporate typeface, for signage or in their logo. These include Imperial College London, The Weather Channel, Free Tibet, Herman Miller, Zimmer Holdings, Mozilla Corporation, Mozilla Foundation, and Fort Wayne International Airport. Over the 25 years since its inception, the FF Meta family has been extended to include eight weights and two widths, as well as additional companion families, like FF Meta Headline, FF Meta Serif, and FF Meta Correspondence. The original FF Meta typeface has extended to a very flexible superfamily, as fresh as it was when it was born. In 2011, the Museum of Modern Art in New York added digital typefaces to its permanent collection for the very first time. Naturally, because of its significance to typography, FF Meta was one of the works included. FF Meta debuted at MoMA as part of the “Standard Deviations” installation in the contemporary design gallery.

  • Man of Letters: Matthew Carter's Life in Type Design
    MAN OF LETTERS Matthew Carter's life in type design BY ALEC WILKINSON Onward And Upward With The Arts; Pg. 56 December 5, 2005 Matthew Carter is often described as the most widely read man in the world. Carter designs typefaces. He is universally acknowledged as the most significant designer of type in America, and as having only one or two peers in Europe. A well regarded British type designer named Dave Farey once told a reporter, "There's Matthew Carter, and then there's the rest of us." Carter is sixty‐eight. He is British, and he lives in Cambridge, Massachusetts. He works in a room in his apartment. He has designed type for magazines such as Time, Newsweek, U.S. News & World Report, Sports Illustrated, Wired, National Geographic, and Business Week; and for newspapers, including the New York Times, the Washington Post, the Boston Globe, the Philadelphia Inquirer, and the Guardian, in London. He designed Verdana, for several years the signature typeface of Microsoft; Bell Centennial, the typeface used by A.T. & T. in the phone book; and type called Galliard, which has been used by the U.S. Postal Service on a stamp. Carter has a partner named Cherie Cone who lives in California and sees to the business side of their firm, which is called Carter & Cone Type. Recently, he's been engaged with three projects. One involved designing type for Le Monde, the French newspaper, which wanted a different appearance; one, still under way, is for Yale, where Carter teaches (the university wants a typeface for its official documents, its signs, and the work of its students and faculty); and the third was for the Times.

  • ERİK SPİEKERMANN.Pdf
    ERİK SPİEKERMANN 30 Mayıs 1947 Erik Spiekermann grafik tasarımda dünyanın en iyi tanınan yüzlerinden birisidir. 30 Mayıs 1947'de doğan Erik Spiekermann, Almanya'da büyüdü. Resmi sanat eğitimini Berlin Serbest Üniversitesi'nden aldı. Öğrenimini, binanın bodrum katında bir tipo matbaa makinesi basarak yaptı. 1970'lerde Londra'ya taşındı ve on yıl boyunca grafik tasarımcısı ve eğitim olarak serbest çalışarak geçti. Film bilgisi ve Wolff Olins gibi çeşitli danışmanlıklar için serbest olarak görev yaptı ve Londra Baskı Okulu'nda ders verdi. 1979'da Spiekermann Berlin'e döndü ve iki tasarımcı ile ortaklaşa MetaDesign’ı kurdu. Firmanın şu anda Londra ve San Francisco'da ofisleri bulunmaktadır. Stüdyo, teutonik görünümlü bilgi tasarımını ve karmaşık kurumsal tasarım sistemlerini bir araya getirme niyetindeydi. Müşteriler için tasarım stüdyosu tarafından üstlenilen önemli projelerden bazıları arasında Audi, Volkswagen, Skoda, Berlin Transit ve Printing sayılabilir. 1980'lerin sonlarında, Spiekermann ile diğer önemli bilgi, Joan Spiekermann, FontShop'u başlattı. FontShop, ilk mail order üreticisi ve elektronik font dağıtıcısıydı. Firmanın FontShop International adıyla uzatılması, FontFont yazı tiplerinin yayınlanmasıyla ilgili olarak kuruldu. Buna ek olarak, Spiekermann, Bremen Sanat Akademisi'nde fahri profesörlük aldı. Pasadena'daki Sanat Merkezi Tasarım Okulu, grafik tasarıma verdiği değerli katkılarından dolayı kendisine fahri doktora verdi. Ayrıca, Alman Tasarım Konseyi yönetim kurulunda üyeliğe sahiptir. 2001'de İngiliz dergisi The Economist'i yeniden tasarladı. Ertesi yıl, Adobe Press için ‘’Koyun Çalmayı Durdurun ve Tipin Nasıl Çalıştığını Bulun.’’ başlıklı yazı tipi kitabını yayınladı. Kitap daha sonra Portekizce, Almanca ve Rusça dahil olmak üzere başka dillerde de yayınlandı. Spiekermann, Nokia için büyük övgüyle karşılanan kurumsal font ailesi oluşturdu ve piyasaya sürdü. Daha sonra Christian Schwartz ile işbirliği yaptı ve yazı ailesini Deutsche Bahn (Alman Demiryolları) ile tanıştırdı.
