Helvetica® Now With Monotype's Charles Nix

Nerds and tech folk have always had a special fascination with typeface and font design, and especially with the venerable Helvetica.

A lot of these bonus episodes are you learning along with me as we take deeper dives into certain tech topics, well no more so than this episode because I knew absolutely nothing about this area of design and so was fascinated to learn about what goes into creating a typeface from an artistic, design, and even business perspective.
