Thirty years of disruptive technologies have made this a greater challenge despite the overwhelming number of type designs available to us. Steve Matteson will give several historical and contemporary examples where fonts have been adapted or designed to meet con-stantly changing technological demands. Thanks for the invitation back to speak this year. “Today’s type designer ought to design typefaces for specific needs.” This quote is from Chuck Bigelow, who I met in 1987 when he received the Goudy Award at RIT. It was an epiphany for me as a student. I’d already fallen hopelessly in love with letters — typefaces, typography, lettering. I’d been steeped in letterforms but where did I fit in? After all, as a student, you study 2,000 years of letterforms and think ‘it’s all been done’. There’s no way I can do better or improve on the achievements of the masters. Typefacedesigns have evolved on a parallel course with changes in the way in which technology reproduces them. With each change in technology we, as type designers, have to think about what were the best examples of design using previous technologies.","PeriodicalId":93390,"journal":{"name":"TUGboat (Providence, R.I.)","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70828880","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

I’m not a Marxist per se, but I’ve lived this struggle for some time as a writer and publisher. In this essay, adapted from my TUG ’22 keynote presentation, I describe my efforts to change or adapt the democratized tools of production to produce new forms of writing, which ultimately led to an ongoing battle with the dominant cultures of production in the world of publishing. I’ll narrate two case studies. One focuses on the writing and production of an innovative, if not disruptive, textbook in the ultra-conservative textbook industry. The second tells the ongoing story of an interloping publishing company (Parlor Press) that reveals the central challenge of distribution for both writers and publishers, from typesetting (print) to transformation (digital).","PeriodicalId":93390,"journal":{"name":"TUGboat (Providence, R.I.)","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70829401","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
