Ha, now it's been five years since my last post. I've beaten my own record for infrequent posting. The impetus for this post is that Bloomsbury (my and JK Rowlings[!] publisher) just published my book "Advanced Typography." Thank god I got it done (more or less) before COVID made my responsibilities at OCAD more onerous. Everything I know about type in 256 pages.
This has been the worse summer ever in terms of having to do
school-related work, and the shit of preparing for online teaching is
flying towards the fan of September's semester start much faster than I
would wish. Still, Zoom aside, more and more people are communicating through type. So this fall, I think the emphasis of my typography classes might shift a bit more to typographic content than typographic form. Not that I'll be ignoring form, but while typography can clarify language, typographic content is the reason typography exists.
