Amazing interview!
Thank you, Chris, for creating these wonderful books to show our children what role models can be.
And thank you, Adam, for continuing your own journey and finding remarkable people who care deeply and are possessed of a passion for what it truly important.
That was inspirational!
How, I am asking myself, might I represent several variations of the letter “O” (for example) in a digital font?
I am asking myself this because it occurs to me that when an artist hand-letters, no doubt the same character/letter is not drawn exactly the same every time. Woundn’t it be cool if a digital font also had these variations?
Without custom software that swaps glyphs (potentially from different fonts) perhaps you could create an all caps font that has a different letter “O” for lower case, upper case, option-modified…. It would be up to the typesetter to flip between the shifted or optioned “O” as they enter the text.
Perhaps something more “automated” can be done by hacking the ligatures tables in the font…. I’m no font expert though.
This guy sounds like his projects deserves more attention for his projects. I like his goal to stop kids looking up to people like the kardasians and start looking up to the people who matter. Nice work
Fantastic interview!
