HYPETYPE — Wieviele Schriften braucht der Mensch?
There are about 90 000 fonts out there on the type market. Why is that?
Do we need so many? Or are those typefaces just the result of a job-creation
measure for unemployed typedesigners?
In four chapters this book takes a look at this mistery and gives explanations
by bringing up topics like collective type memory, corporate fonts & font choise.
»Wieviele Schriften braucht der Mensch?« provides essential information
about the use of type.
This project was done in collaboration with Katrin Janka & Maria Joachim.
