A Word About Typography
Since The New York Times redid its Web site earlier this month to "sprinkle a little more serendipity around the site," and make it simpler, they say, I've been thinking a lot about front pages. The Oregonian's news designer Mark Friesen runs a site where you can download images of the faces of daily papers.
A link there pointed me to a guy named Mark Simonson's blog post on what he wrote as a youngster about typography. He said designer Herb Lubalin created this font (pictured) especially for a magazine called Avant Garde Gothic. That was in the 60s. Today it's a typeface.
I wonder if anyone is working on a font made especially for digital media? It can't be much longer before we get bored with the likes of Arial, Verdana, or... Times.
