A new book release: Practical Font Design: FontLab 4.6

Skilled Workman Posted on August 17, 2009 by David BergslandAugust 17, 2009

A journey with an experienced font designer through the creation of a new OpenType font developed for release. This is also part of the training materials for the apprentices of the Hackberry Font Foundry. That’s the blurb on Lulu. This is the first limited release on my Practical Font Design book. It is limited because it’s done on FontLab 4.6 and FontLab 5 has been out for quite a while. As you know, Hackberry Fonts is a … Continue reading →

If you get involved in a large signage project, here’s help

Skilled Workman Posted on July 24, 2009 by David BergslandJuly 24, 2009

For some reason, I’ve gotten on mailing lists to look over books for publishers with the hope, on their part, that I’ll blog on their books. One of the books I received recently is another one from Princeton Architectural Press. At first glance it seems to have little to do with what we do here at Radiqx. But I think I should mention it, because I enjoyed reading it, and because you may need it at some … Continue reading →

Skilled Workman Posted on June 26, 2009 by David BergslandJune 26, 2009

Some of you may have heard: David’s retired from teaching and is now focusing on font design. He already has an apprentice with more making plans to join the foundry. Obviously, it was time for some changes. The name comes from a huge hackberry tree on the boulevard outside the front door of the foundry. As they add workers Hackberry fonts will be offering fonts from a variety of people. Radiqx is looking forward to the future … Continue reading →

Apprenticeships are arriving… (have arrived)

Skilled Workman Posted on March 14, 2009 by David BergslandMarch 14, 2009

I just posted the following on my Font design and typography blog. I wanted to make sure that you who read this one are aware of it also. As of today, you can email me if you are interested in one of the apprenticeship positions at either Bergsland Typography (the font foundry) or here at Radiqx Press. Bergsland Design is gone! Your bookmarks to the old site will still work, but things have changed a lot. It … Continue reading →

Scientific study on the effects of good font use

Skilled Workman Posted on February 11, 2009 by David BergslandFebruary 11, 2009

A Recipe for Motivation: Easy to Read, Easy to Do: Scientific American Of course, they used two horrible fonts. Their good font: Arial is really very poor. It is just good when compared to Brush. What if they had used Amitale, which is designed for readability or even that old standard Garamond or Caslon, or Bembo, or even Baskerville? Imagine what would have happened if they not only used readable fonts, but a layout designed for readability? … Continue reading →
