I wanted to share a bit of the research I did this week on female type designers. Two women that really inspired me this week are Veronika Burian, and Barbara “Bobbie” Stauffacher Solomon.
Veronika Burian is a type designer and cofounder of TypeTogether, an independent, cosmopolitan type foundry that creates text typography for intensive digital and print editorial use. Veronia is also involved with Alphabettes.org, a showcase for work, commentary, and research on lettering, typography, and type design by female type designers. I started following their instagram account which has such a global impact - very cool. Revisiting art and design history, I came across a video featuring the accomplishments of Bobbie Stauffacher Solomon. I love her honesty and modesty and her attitude toward design at what it meant to her. I think her story further how influential Helvetica was on generations of designers.
