Designers Have No Sense of Humor
Many designers know that they have arrived at the far-reaches of geekyness when they find typography jokes funny (‘A font walks into a bar, and the bartender says, “We don’t serve your type here.”’). It must be the mixture of long hours, paper sniffing or sitting too close to the computer screen that begins to skew our judgement.
It is for this reason that the upcoming ‘Kern Up The Volume!’ typography and design lecture gets FRONT’s full support. Not only because of the clever typographical pun in it’s title - but because one of the world’s most respected living typographers Erik Speikermann will be speaking.
It should be a good seminar, take our word for it… we’re a good judge of character [sigh].
See you there!
