Soon in the US there will be more app developers than lawyers. They already outnumbered farmers. That would be an ideal world, no divorce, no wheat. Play Letterpress all day.

Digital Art History (November 30 – December 1, 2012)
Organized by Jim Coddington
The impact of digital technology on the practice of the humanities has been a subject of considerable discussion, debate and even consternation. In the context of art history the integration of digital tools and processes has lagged, in varying degrees, in comparison to other disciplines like archaeology and literary studies. Some approaches have been fruitful, such as computational subjects like image processing for technical art history, virtual environments, visualization, use of GIS data in archaeology and others.

Index Book | Typo Latino – 30 types and many more fonts from Index Book on Vimeo.
Typo Latino is a publication where we showcase the work of emerging typographers as well as established type designers from across the globe. What differentiates Typo Latino from other font books is that we feature typefaces, outline the process of constructing them and provide short explanations from the authors on the formal characteristics or applications of each typeface. We want to show the working process, the final result and the end uses where they exist. As a compilation of best works by Latin authors, this text serves as a tribute to and an emphasis on Latin character.
