Jason Santa Maria gives us a glimpse into the thoughts, challenges and considerations a type nerd (or in his words, a font geek). He shows the audience why we make the decisions we do and tells it quite well. For anyone interesting in learning typography, I highly recommend watching this.

Jason Santa Maria has gained a reputation for being one of the early adopters of web typography and embracing the flexibility of web design to take on principles from web design. Like in his talk at SVA, The Influence of Print Design on Web Design.

“Typography is what sets Apple, at first glance, apart from just about everyone at the mall. Typography is what makes a self-published book often look pale in comparison to a â€˜realâ€™ one. Typography (or the lack thereof) is a safety hazard on airplanes (who decided that all the safety labels should be in ALL CAPS)?

The choice of a typeface, the care given to kerning and to readabilityâ€”it all sends a powerful signal. When your business card is nothing but Arial on a piece of cardboard, youâ€™ve just told people how they ought to think about youâ€¦ precisely the opposite of what you were trying to do when you made the card in the first place” From Seth Godin

This is a project I did in a class about a month after Heinz Klinkon had passed. From what I can tell it’s the best documentation of the discussions about him before and after. The objective of the project was to pay respect to the wisdom and inspiration that he shared. I chose to share text rather than photos, because his words are was he was so well known for. Students, myself included, would have to quickly whip out a notepad, if we weren’t already equipped, to jot down some of the remarkable things he would say. His perspectives were beautiful, consistent and just what we needed to push us to the next level without giving us the answer. You are missed, Heinz.

Thanks to Maury Postal for reminding me to post this.
