The digital era has radically changed the processes of making, composing and printing type. Tasks and projects that, not so long ago, required entire working teams, and different kinds of specialists, can now be tackled by one person with one computer… and enough knowledge, patience and perseverance. The same digital era however also allows for more effective and faster teamwork. In this talk, Burian and Scaglione will discuss their collaborative work within TypeTogether on type designs conceived for intensive editorial use in newspapers. The focus will be on the complex issues behind technical, historical and theoretical aspects of these typefaces. How they are set, printed and read.
