Today I've been working on the expanded diacritics set for Zanzibar OpenType. Zanzbar is a funky weird lovely typeface to begin with, but with all those CE glyphs I see animals and faces in almost all the new glyphs.
Top glyph: Ldot
Bottom glyph: wdieresis
... around 5.30 PM, when I was relaxing on the couch with the boys watching Cartoon Network, I started to think about a long smooth ink trap. After a while I knew I had to draw it in Fontlab, or the image would be with me all evening.
I drew the inktrap...
... and swash and an "A" just to have some use for the ink trap...
I didn't like the swash, but I liked the "A", suddenly my thoughts started to wander about by themself – "What if I was the mixed up clone experiment between Storm and Novarese, born through a tubelike wood press and raised on the Pampas ( Yes – I know it's not possible). And what if the next letter I'd designed would be a "b" and the one to follow, and the next after that would be a "c" and the next...
... then it was 18.15 PM and I started making dinner.
I just read that Christian Schwartz was awarded the Prix Charles Peignot. It is well deserved, he is an amazing type designer. The press info says he released his first typeface at the age of 14.
Now, when I was 14 I was into Heavy Metal and made this belt:
Laying numb on the couch the other day watching the IAAF Golden League athletic games. I saw that the logo the used looks like a a modified "London 76"
Second time I see London in use the last months. Is it getting a revival more than 10 years after it's release?
This is why I love Apple!
