Oh, how those words ring in my ears, I for one have given up that heinous act and now sleep so much better.
Even before Bruno came over to see us I've been meaning to do a thing on Dalton Maag. Which was one reason why I was gutted I couldn't go to the lecture. Thanks to my ace reporters it still managed to cause a bit of a stir here.
I've had a couple of Dalton Maag promotional booklets for years and have bought more recently, and I keep thinking the same thing...
A little before the Maagster's presentation (oh, and exhibition) Spiekermann was here. During his talk, amongst the many interesting things he said was the remark that, "type design is boring". Now, I can imagine what he meant; it's a labourious process with only the very patient and meticulous really cut out for it, if it's to be done properly. In sharp contrast, whether intentionally or not, Dalton Maag make type design look dead sexy.
