FontCast 3 — Webfonts Week: An Interview with David Berlow of the Font Bureau

Taking the pulse of the font development community would not be complete without hearing from the man who has been active in type design and technology from the beginning of the digital era. David Berlow designed typefaces for Mergenthaler, Linotype, Stempel, and Haas typefoundries in the '70s, pioneered digital type at Bitstream in the '80s, and founded The Font Bureau with legendary art director Roger Black in 1989. The Font Bureau library is often the first place magazine and newspaper designers look for new typefaces.

Berlow's diverse perspective, experience, and strong opinions give him an insightful, provocative view of Web typography and I think that comes through during our discussion in Mexico City. Enjoy, and please comment with your thoughts.
