First, we discuss ideas that either José or [I] have, see if any of them are interesting enough to pursue, and then we discuss how big the type family should be, what historical research we might have to do, etc. One of us then draws a few letters, usually ‹a,› ‹n,› ‹o,› then we discuss again to see if it’s going in the right direction. Most of the time we have at least two different typefaces going like this, and we have this rule of exchanging and correcting each other’s drawings. It’s great to have another pair of eyes because at some point you don’t see the bigger picture anymore. Veronika Burian.
