Today on ilovetypography, they have an interview with typographer, Jos Buivenga. I found the article particularly intruiging because it really gets into how he started ”doing type.”
“I started my first typeface Delicious in 1994 just out of admiration for type design(ers) and I was fascinated by how it would be to set a text with your own typeface. I can’t remember if I made sketches or not, but I do remember sitting behind my first Mac — an LC pizza box with a 12″ display — staring countless hours at non-aliased contours.” -Buivenga, 2008
