Jan Middendorp reports from the Gerrit Noordzij Prize Symposium
Earlier today, British designer Paul Barnes, whose best-known project is probably the Guardian typeface designed with Christian Schwartz, discussed some of his own typefaces, such as Brunel and Marian, and their respective sources.
Above: Paul Barnes investigated nineteenth-century sources, notably from the Caslon foundry and John Isaac Drury, for his typeface Brunel.
The other speakers: Rich Roat (House Industries), Tobias Frere-Jones and Piet Schreuders. See Jonathan Hoefler’s note about the prize (presented to Wim Crouwel yesterday) on typography.com.
