The Weekly Typographic

It's Season 3, Baby!

FRIENDS! WE'RE BACK! And not only are we back on the podcast, but we're 'back to school' as we have a new workshop happening later this month with the wonderful Aline Kaori...

DALL-E 2: Are we all out of jobs?

It’s so good to be back in recording mode, and this week we took it to the next level by recording IN THE SAME PLACE! Olivia took a lil road trip to see Micah and they recorded together. Cute.

This week we’re talking about DALL-E; what it is, why it’s useful, why it’s not, the things people are worried about, and why we’re not worried about (all) of the worries...

An Interview with Libbie Bischoff, Founder of Type Du Nord

We’re not going to lie, one of the things that gives us the most energy is talking to type designers / people working in the type and design industry. Our cups are overflowing this week after a delightful conversation with Libbie Bischoff.

We spotted Libbie’s amazing 52 Fonts project early this year and were blown away by her dedication and persistence to putting out a new font every week...

Maximizing Marketing: Taking Your Type to the People

There’s a bit of everything in this week’s newsletter and chats; a super detailed behind the scenes on an iconic rebrand, some handy web design typesetting tips, a case study of alternative design education options (and the importance of practice), and a cool look into some left-handed calligraphic design.

This week’s nerd alert was inspired by Commercial Type’s recent interesting marketing/advertising approaches...

Trial Fonts and Tribulations

This week Olivia is joined by Steph and they are having a big old chat about trial fonts; what we like about them, what annoys us about them, their possibilities, and some of the creative ways foundries are using them / thinking about them as part of their marketing plan. (If you’ve got strong thoughts on trial fonts - we’d love to hear them, hit reply and let us know!).

As usual, we’re also talking about some type and design news...

3D Type Showcase: A Brave Neue World

Every so often we like to take a longer look at a certain type/design style or part of the industry. We’ve been seeing a lot of interesting 3D design pop up recently, both in the real world and in the overlayed world of AR so we wanted to get a little bit deeper to take a peek at different applications of this field...

An Interview with Beatriz Lozano

We’re having a chat with another designer this week, and we’re super excited that that designer is the wonderful Beatriz Lozano [insert cheers and whooping here]. We’ve been such fans of Beatriz’s work and approach for a long time, so we loved picking her brain on all things tech, design, education, plus a peek into the future ????????.

Of course, we’ve also got some cool links for you to check out over your Friday morning coffee...

Startup Design Trends

We’re back to regular scheduling this week with Micah and Olivia chatting about all things type and design. And we're gonna be honest, this week’s links are a somewhat ragtag mix of design and type talking points...

Packaging Design Storytime: From Dieline to Production Line

Settle down children, and pull up a comfy seat - it’s story time.

Join Olivia and Micah in the reading corner for this week’s nerd alert where Olivia is talking all about the world of packaging design. She shares her early experience of doing bespoke event packaging, and then moving into more commercial packaging where she learnt all of the intricacies, politics, and legalities of big-brand packaging design...

Weekly Typographic x Interrogang Crossover

Do not adjust your sets! We are coming to you this week with a very special (early) episode with our first crossover episode. And we couldn't be happier with this crossover as we're talking to the delightful and equally-as-nerdy-about-typography, Kyle and Josh from the Interrogang Podcast...
