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. /m It has been a great year.

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.

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. I do hope they post the work of former students.

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. Hyde is awesome.
