thanks for showing up in spite of the rain. we traveled to the middle ages to look at typeface's 800 years evolution from trajan to gothic. to understand how typeface and calligraphy evolve and diverge we peeked a bit inside the life of common folk & artisans doing these graphic marks as well as the types of documents (ars moriendi, decretals, missals, the codex) and the scribe and their milieu. life was tough and short, but good.
go ahead!
go ahead!
