The evening’s discussion and entertainment was provided by Frank Grießhammer, who provided a brief but excellent presentation of his graduation project, Kiosk Fonts. I was particularly interested by his ideas; he came to this theme because, like many a design school student, he had a hard drive full of student-made fonts, and hadn’t an idea what to do with them, or how to show them to the world. In and of itself, this is not a new idea. Already this year, we’ve seen the advent of Avoid Red Arrows, a student collective/font platform from the University of Arts and Design in Karlsruhe. Older groups also abound online, like the French Gogotype, which still blogs more than a year and half after all of its student members graduated. (Even the first version of TypeOff.de hoped to go in a similar direction, but we failed miserably.)
