Thanks for the talk last night - truly inspiring. Of course, as my brain is still trying to wrap itself around typography and type design (student), I come up with thoughts far too late to have added them to the discussion during the Q & A. So - on the topic of Type Classification, I'm of the belief that the system of classification as it stands now (which, I believe it was said last night that there are 15 type classes) will force the new, budding type designer to use more free-hand works when designing with type. That you can't just simply type '1920s gangster' into a type index will ensure that the historiography of type design remains intact; that in order to choose a type for a project, you'd be forced to do the research first - or, as it seemed Barry and Peter suggested emphatically, draw it by hand to get exactly what you want. Just a thought. Thanks again for last night. Hey. Thanks for the talk last night – truly inspiring.
