[Dave Crossland]

Mark Barratt writes on the AtypI list:

Three presentations from the Letter.2 conference in Buenos Aires in
2011 are now available on the ATypI site. Contributions from Peter
Bilak, John Hudson, and Gerry Leonidas & Fiona Ross were captured on
video and are the first of many to be published over the coming weeks
and months.

They are at http://www.atypi.org/presentations/letter.2

Peter Bilak discusses the ‘Expanding possibilities of typography’,
covering language, modern dance, rhythms, and... typography.

John Hudson presents ‘Athena Ruby: when shape has meaning’, about the
work of his foundry, Tyro Typeworks, in developing a typeface to meet
the needs of scholars who catalogue and study Byzantine seals and
coins.

Gerry Leonidas & Fiona Ross, from Reading University's Department of
Typography & Graphic Communication, talk about their approach to
research-based design at the Department's well-known Masters degree
course in typeface design, and approach summarised as ‘Think it
through!’.
All presentations are in English; introductions are in Spanish.
