TypeCon2009: Webfonts Panel

“Grab the reins and do it!” Jessica Hische, renowned letterer, illustrator, type designer, and self-described “avid internetter,” spoke at CreativeMornings/Vancouver in June 2012 and her advice is still as relevant as ever. Focusing on the intersection of arts & technology, Jessica passionately advocates for the value of type design in the face of technology. But mostly, she inspires us all to get up, stop being lazy, and learn whatever we need to learn to make the things we want to make.
