The Lost Type Co-Op

Between the years 1996 and 2001 Ray created 250 free font families which were released on his web site. Then in 2001 he started the Typodermic Fonts Company and continues to update and expand the original Larabie Fonts family. His fonts and style is very diverse and different.

I researched a few type foundries. I was not aware until now that they were even called this or existed. I found this site, P22 Type Foundry. They create computer typefaces inspired by Art & History. They also offer customer fonts and licensing agreement options.

reluctance to change. I am sure that the pixilated fonts were not pretty or familiar and

This was the dawn of the computers and they were right there using this new technology to the fullest. At the time, font choices were limited so when Zuzana started designing fonts on her Macintosh, they were used in Emigre magazine as well as sold to support the magazine. Emigre Fonts became one of the first digital type foundries. Rudy and Zuzana did not consider themselves radicals at the time but there were some that did not like what they were doing. Steven Heller was one of them. He wrote an essay in 1993 about postmodern design entitled, “Cult of the Ugly”, in which he criticizes Rudy Vanderlans. Heller states (pulled from Puckett’s

A little bit of background: Stanley Morison was a British typographer and designer. He's also the person who co-developed and had Times New Roman (everybody's default typeface) commissioned- which was, without a doubt, the pinnacle of his career. Several ubiquitous typefaces, including Garamond (first appeared in 1530) and Baskerville (designed in 1757) owe their comebacks to him.

For weeks, selected students here at Academy 1 Middle School, MS 7 and Stevens Co-op were taught college style work by Stevens University students themselves. We were taught five major engineering subjects including Trigonometry, Bio-Medical Engineering, Computer Programing, Structural Engineering, and Robotics. At first the work seemed very intimidating, wemoved at a fast past learning a new topic every week and almost all the work was completely new to us. Despite being totally mind blown, we were all dedicated and studied hard to prepare for the competition that was only weeks away. Every morning we met at 7:30 to review and practice, our Physics teacher Mr.Osenenko helped us develop a strategy that would ultimately lead us to victory. The

For each of his designs he must create the type from nothing. One of my favorite pieces of work he has done is titled “Lorem Ipsum” in this series he created lettering based on tubular strokes and made the connection to old fashion ballpoint pens like those many of us used in school long ago. Many large companies and celebrity clients have come to love Trochut’s body of work also. Client “Capitol Records” commissioned him to create album artwork for the release of Katy Perry’s single “ROAR” in 2013. He went more geometric with this design and created an instantly recognizable typeface, which beams with

At my co-op placement, I have a few duties or a specific role that I had to fulfill during the time I worked there. The particular role given to me was to be a “bus girl”, a term used for an individual that has the duty of clearing the tables and also setting it up again. However, I was also in charge of the cleaning aspect, organizing as well as re-stocking. Whether it may be sugar, ketchup, salt, pepper, toilet paper, tissue paper and more that we run out of. I am in charge of being aware of when a certain item is running out and changing it as to where everything is good as new, and we are set for another day of business. Washing the dishes is also an important duty as we run out of eating utensils so fast on a busy day.

A serif is a small line attached to the end of a stroke in a letter or symbol. Serifs originated in the Latin alphabet with inscriptional lettering—words carved into stone in Roman antiquity. The Roman letter outlines were first painted onto stone, and the stone carvers followed the brush marks, which flared at stroke ends and corners, creating serifs. Another theory is that serifs were devised to neaten the ends of lines as they were chiseled into stone. There are many different classifications of serifed typefaces, including Old Style, Modern, Transitional and Egyptian. The Old Style or Humanist serif typefaces developed in the 15th and 16th centuries and are characterized by a low contrast in stroke weight and angled serifs. Modern serifed typefaces developed in the late 18th and early 19th century and were a radical break from the traditional typography of the time with high contrast of strokes, straight serifs and a totally vertical axis. Transitional is the bridge for the gap between Old Style and Modern

Vincent Connare was born in Boston, Massachusetts in 19060. He is the creator of the ubiquitous typeface Comic Sans. Apparently this font is a font that feels love and contempt. He is a painter and photographer by trade, but has evolved into a designer and engineer of fonts. “He was trained in painting and photography at the New York Institute of Technology and holds a Masters in Type Design from the University of Reading” (Vincent, n.d.). His first job as a typographic engineer was in 1987 at Compugraphic where he was hired “to transform its typeface library from its existing photosetting incarnation for digital use” (Vincent Connare, Biography, n.d.). From here he worked

This typeface can express the emotions of being expressive with the use of Valencia, and friendly with the use of Cooper. It also represents uniqueness with the use of Spaceage Round, as well as the feelings of amusement (Giddyup).
