This builds on earlier posts I've made on my PPP blog, I've mentioned that I spoke to Lee Goater at a private viewing of his. Whenever I'm in a situation where there may be the potential to get information from an industry professional I always tell myself I should have some questions ready to ask them, and almost every time I think of the same question: "What's your favourite Typeface?", it often comes across more trivial and conversational than questions others would ask, but it genuinely interests me. So I've decided I'm going to compile a list of professionals, alongside there favourite Typeface. It seems ambitious, but I'm hoping, if I keep it up over the course of 3 years it could be quite a good source of information. Also, if I go about it in a professional way with ingenuity I could design myself some graphic material to accompany it, perhaps a website? Either way I think it's a good idea, and could get interesting. Below are the first 3 I've collected:
Lee Goater (Designer) - Akzidenz Grotesk & Baskerville, also likes Simplon & Suisse BP*
David Craig (Designer) - Helvetica, least favourite is Comic Sans
Brian Tweddle (Sculptor) - Gill Sans
*I've not came across either of these fonts, so a quick look as part of my Type Journal could be useful.
