Thanks for the Link! It is nice to see an image of Milvus, too. I think that Emma’s italic is fant­astic. My per­sonal favor­ite.

Awe­some! I can’t wait to par­ti­cip­ate in the master’s pro­gram! Soon… soon…

Wow really nice stuff. They are just now offer­ing an Advanced Type Design class at my school that you can take after you’ve com­pleted your four pre­vi­ous type classes. I’m not entirely sure what the class is about but I’m pretty sure it’s along the lines of cre­at­ing your own typeface. I can’t wait :)

I like Michael Hernan’s font, at first I thought it was only good for head­ings but I prin­ted his page from the pdf and I am liking it.

Wow: it’s things like this that make me want to be a pro­fes­sional stu­dent. How cool is that book design pro­gram??

Great works, I hope that we will learn some­thing sim­ilar in our academy. If not, I’ll learn it anyway! :)

But really amaz­ing works and..from just stu­dents. Amaz­ing!

I’m start­ing at the MATD in about three weeks. I’ve been keep­ing a weblog on the pre­par­a­tion for Read­ing for about two months now, it’s here: http://​cave​doni.​com/​r​e​ading/

Hyde is awe­some. I love that “y”—reminds me of Scala and of Slimbach’s text faces—and the spe­ci­men book is a work of art in itself.

I do hope they post the work of former stu­dents.

You can access a few of the spe­ci­mens from past years via a Google search.

I’ve been told that this will be the case, although it might not happen super quickly. We don’t want to share the lime­light straight away, do we ;-)

If you look at the design (all those num­bers down the left-​hand side), you can guess what is in the cards.

Thanks for the links. I have been look­ing into join­ing the course at Read­ing for some­time now and this has spurred me on even more. Cheers again!

The spe­ci­men book­let from last year’s class at Read­ing is avail­able here: http://​www.​ultrasparky.​org/​w​o​r​k​/​o​t​h​e​r​/​1​4​_​f​a​c​e​s​.html

The book­let con­tains con­tact info for all of us if you’re inter­ested in any of the work we did, or are doing now.

Why did I ever decide to major in Graphic Design?

Jeff, there is noth­ing wrong with major­ing in graphic design! Back when I was an under­gradu­ate, I majored in graphic design, too. The world’s two typeface design MA pro­grams are gradu­ate pro­grams that you enrol in after you’ve fin­ished your first degree.

It has been a great year. My time at Read­ing has been an inspir­a­tion and I cant begin to tell you how sat­ur­ated with type know­ledge you can become. The fun part is seeing the devel­op­ment of every­one elses work - the iter­a­tions and com­plete over­hall (in the case of Andrews Hyde is like ver­sion six, each one dif­fer­ent from the last).

@wes. Its all about the AirTrap’s get­ting more air into the coun­ters so you can make the type min­is­cule.
