The homework is in progress. Reading and drawing.
I already have everything ready to take off to Reading in September. After weeks of running from doing the passport, getting the health card, I finally have almost 100% of things done. I already have a room in a very nice house with other MA students!
So, after all that business, I am finally drawing something more, at the Studio DSTYPE at Matosinhos, Portugal, where my professor of Typography at ESAD open his studio doors and gave the opportunity to share his space and knowledge. And also Pedro Leal, who already has a very successful typeface named Mafra.
I'm struggling and remembering Fontlab!
It will be just for a couple of weeks more to shake off the vacations mode!
I hope the work is more or less with a good appearance to show you in the beginning of September.
One thing I have already have noticed, or felt, is that working with typography, at a foundry has nothing to do with the work in a design studio, is different, more precise, more focused on what the client needs, is solving a real specific problem. I like that, this kind of approach takes me again to the way of thinking of the architect.
I will post another text about that.
