Member Rya… Posted April 26, 2012 Author Share Posted April 26, 2012 Well worth the watch even if you can't speak the language. My favourite part was when the avante garde, quasi radical looking punk rock band get put in the magazine layout and get titled with Poppl Residenz. Link to comment

Member Flo… Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 From 4′45″ on, Günter Gerhard Lange (1921–2008), then the artistic director at Berthold, is talking to Bernd Möllenstädt (1943–), who took over this position in 1990. At 6′25″, one can have a look-around in the Taufkirchen typedesign studio, with the many nameless women, working in Ikarus at dimly lit Tektronix screens. This is the place where Dieter Hofrichter (Hoftype) started his career. In the freshly published interview that Dan Reynolds conducted for MyFonts, Hofrichter talks about this early stage of ‘computer-aided typedesign’. German version | English version Link to comment

Member Rya… Posted April 27, 2012 Author Share Posted April 27, 2012 For what purpose is the man looking through the "lens" at 7:03? Link to comment
Member Jen… Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Were they creating fonts with AutoCad @ 8:05? No, that’s the Ikarus digitizing system. For what purpose is the man looking through the "lens" at 7:03? It’s a reducing glass, it has the opposite effect of a magnifying glass. He’s looking at the drawings through it so he can see them closer to their intended final size. Link to comment
