On this week’s episode we talk to Stephen Coles of Typographica and FontShop. We talk to him a bit about his own work in the type world, typographic diversity, selling your type, and why this really is the golden age of typography.
Next week on the show we’ll have Armin and Bryony of UnderConsideration and Brand New on the show. Our Call to Action this week: ideas for type on the web. How do we strike a balance so that type designers and type foundries feel safe that their fonts are protected while allowing graphic designers the freedom to the use more fonts online? If you have answers or questions for Armin and Bryony, email them to us at readbetweentheleading@gmail.com, call 646-402-5686 ext 20248, or reply to us on Twitter.
