The Story of FF DIN

In 1994, in San Francisco, Albert-Jan Pool and Erik Spiekermann took a cab together from the ATypI conference to the airport. Spiekermann knew that Pool’s employer went bust, so he told him that if he wanted to earn some money with type design, he should have a look at fonts such as OCR and DIN.

Project 2 Concept Map V 2.3

There is my latest ideation. The squares are grouped from left to right in a progression of what led to what in Modernism. For instance, Progressivism, Purpose and Politics led to Vienna Secession, Constructivism, and Dadaism. That's why the last three follow the first three. I also added a timeline to further illustrate that, although these terms aren't following a strict time progression, the terms on the left lead to the terms on the right. I also added lines from one box to another to show which terms influenced which other terms. The line color and weight are determined by the color of the box. For instance, the lines coming from the Purpose box are a lighter blue and thinner than the ones coming from the Swiss Style box.

What I think is interesting here is the child's interpretation of the letterforms. Which one's he has an easy time with and one's which he has a hard time understanding or just has not learned yet?

Interesting to watch with the adult - timing. The letterform is roken into components (as you learned in the calligraphy demo), but also notice the speed/change in speed, pauses, etc. It's a performance.
