“Typography is two-dimensional architecture, based on experience and imagination, and guided by rules and readability. And this is the purpose of typography: The arrangement of design elements within a given structure should allow the reader to easily focus on the message, without slowing down the speed of his reading.”

Hermann Zapf Palatino

Visuel form har et sprog og en grammatik, akkurat lige som alt andet. Ligesom litteratur og poesi er det i en konstant udvikling, og må gerne anvendes kreativt,

men for at udtrykke os præcist har vi brug for et fælles vokabularium og en syntaks.

Klokken syv viste han sig i døren ud til køkkenet, den mand der havde hjulpet mig, da jeg blev kørt ned; i sorte cowboybukser og hvid skjorte, skarp og tydelig som Stempel Garamond på blødt papir.•

“...in an information-rich world, the wealth of information means a dearth of something else…”

“Hence a wealth of information creates a poverty of attention and a need to allocate that attention efficiently among the overabundance of information sources that might consume it.” Herbert Simon 1971

“In the new computer age the proliferation of typefaces and type manipulations represents a new level of visual pollution

threatening our culture.”

Typographical design should

creates through voice and gesture

“Wouldn't it be interesting if there were only one typeface in the world? Design-ers would really have to think about the idea behind their designs instead of cov-ering ir up with fancy typefaces. One, uni-versal typeface would really strip away all the flashy emptiness in design. And, of course, that one typeface would have to be Helvetica.” — Erik Kessels

Vender man et Q på hovedet – især et så fi nt tegnet Q som i skri� en M. E – ser man et æble, med stilk og et lille blad. For mig blev Q’et selve

den � ugt, der hænger på - . Jeg tænkte mig

ikke om to gange: Jeg strakte mig op på tæer og plukkede

den.

The details are details. They make the product. The connections, the connections, the connections. It will in the end be these details that give the product its life.

Vi lå nøgne ved siden af hinanden, og jeg spurgte

min elskede, hvad der var hans yndlingskrift. Han

kiggede spørgende på mig.

„Bembo? Bodoni? Baskerville?“ sagde jeg for at lede ham ind

på det rigtige spor.

Til sognepræsten foreslog han for eksempel et kort sat med en klassisk antikva som Bodoni. Og papiret? Glat eller mat? Glat? Hvad med 250 grams elfenbenskarton? Sognepræsten nikkede begejstret. Da resultatet forelå, opdagede jeg, at de ranke, vertikale typer stilmæssigt passede til præstens lidt stive væremåde, både hans ydre og faktisk også, sådan som skriften stod med stærke kontraster mellem tykt og tyndt, til den opstyltede måde, han prædikede på.

En skrift er aldrig "tidløs", der er bare nogle der er kraftigere ladet end andre. En skrifttype kan konnotere tid, sted, social status og endda religiøst tilhørsforhold.

En skrift der stadig ser godt ud efter 500 år, er også flot om 8 måneder eller mere.

Elias havde også hugget inskriptio-nen. Lutter store bogstaver. „Capita-lis Monumentalis. Den samme skrift som på Trajansøjlen i Rom,“ sagde han. „Den bedste der er lavet. Uovertruf-fen i sin klarhed. Går aldrig af mode.“

Design sker aldrig i et vakuum, alt har en historie og en fortid.

“You cannot understand typography and typefaces without knowledge and you can’t keep that knowledge for only yourself. Type design is a cultural act, not just a few lines of data in the cor-ner of a hard disk.” Jean-François Porchez
