I always thought this was because I only had paper for such a long time, as a kid and into my teens, rather than computer technology, but it's also probably got something to do with just being that sort of person. Or, more likely, the two influence each other in an inseparable way.Great interview! I feel like I've been away for ages...Also, I found the intellectual-rather-than-manual quote interesting because I have felt, so far in my self-induced typographic education, that it is a mix of both. That it is not completely intellectual (as writing academic papers might be), but not completely manual. This is a large part of what attracts me to typography--dealing with words and language but not in a sterile, academic environment.(I know, I know, academia doesn't <i>have</i> to be sterile. But I often felt it was.) Johno,

Great interview!

Type design, then, is an intellectual rather than a manual job; and the tools have no direct influence on the forms; it’s more about what your own brain, culture and influences and reading brings to it that really makes the difference.

I found this very interesting as I was under the impression the form was greatly determined by the tools historically used in type design.

I agree with all here. Great read and very insightful!! I too loved the fact that JF needs a brief to set his way into a great design; although it's hard to believe that he does not doodle letters like crazy just for the fun of it, like many of us do.

The French one is nice as well. It's really interesting to see that the treatment of a French header isn't so different from an English set one. Although, it's probably because he is creating it inline of the iLT scheme. Johno
