DoerCast is starting a short, but impressive, design series; this episode features Frantisek Storm, one of the world's best type designers, who came to Romania to open an exhibition of the Czech Cultural Center of Bucharest at Una Galeria. Mr. Storm was also kind enough to hold a type design workshop for Filter Design Competition.
Diana and I got to speak to him, a colleague of his and a student of theirs (whose names, I must say, regrettably, I didn't understand)on the third day of their stay, after they visited the National Art University and after seeing the Stencils of Bucharest. We discussed about different approaches to academic education, we discussed about type and type design, about Bucharest, stencils and street art.
One of the best moments of our discussion was when Mr. Storm showed us his Stencilul Font - a font that was inspired to him by a stencil in Bucharest, and that he put online for anyone to download for free.
So, to listen follow this link, or use the feed to listen in iTunes.
