"What's the emotion? What's the message? That's the driving force behind typography." Take a break from the big screen and go back to basics. On today's pod we're digging into the lost art of letterpress with Daniel Swartz from Hoosier Type Company. Daniel's passion is infectious, and we cover choosing the right font pairing, when to use decorative type, and the future of the practice. How to deepen your understanding of typography 👇 📚 Go analogue. Read a design book. Daniel cites Letterform Archive, Stephen Coles, Ellen Lupton, and Sarah Hyndman as some of his favorite sources. ✒ Challenge yourself to beat "font fatigue". Instead of using several fonts to communicate your message, get comfortable doing more with less. 🔠 Look to the past to inform the future: after all, we've got 550+ years of inspiration to pull from.
