a fascinating abbreviated look at the evolution of modern letterforms. this is indespensable to typographers looking to begin designing outside their native languages.
A recent entry at typographi.ca pointed out that frank heine, creator of remedy, motion, dalliance, and most recently tribute for emigre has passed away.
frank’s work received much derision in the early nineties. many design critics ignored the beauty of remedy and motion, saying that he wasn’t making “real type.” but the point they were missing is that typography itself was initially designed to mimic hand-written forms for the publishing of religious documents, formerly written by hand. in that light, frank’s work is a brilliant circular reference to the reason and ways that we make letters at all.
