NEW RELEASE
Sirba speaks Greek

Sirba, a robust typefamily by Nicolien van der Keur, for complex text environments, now offers even more possibilities. The recent update includes a full set of phonetic symbols, designed upon request for the use in dictionaries, and the extension to polytonic Greek. Although the historical way of writing Latin and Greek is very different from each other, the Greek is designed to harmonize well when used together with the Latin. Irene Vlachou and Gerry Leonidas assisted the development of Sirba polytonic Greek with their professional expertise.

EDUCATION
Istanbul Workshop

Thanks to the energetic ISType organisers Onur Yazıcıgil and Alessandro Segalini, Veronika and José spent some wonderful time in Istanbul this June giving a type workshop and presenting their latest talk about "typefaces for current editorial design".
The workshop "Introduction into digital typeface design" covers many areas of the typeface design process and aims to jumpstart both beginners and amateurs into alphabet-drawing. After some initial experimentation on their own design, the students were joined in small groups to develop the selected designs further and digitise them. A short video about the process will be available shortly on our website.
