Interview with Type Designer Erik Spiekermann

Erik Spiekermann is based in San Francisco and Berlin, he has founded successful design companies like MetaDesign, FontShop and Edenspiekermann, to name just a few. Last year I was in Austria and they introduced a typeface I designed – with the help of Ralph de Carrois – way back for the European road network. Take the Berlin Public Transport project for example: When we started, they said: “Our signage is good – when we lock our stations at 2 AM, there is no one left over, they all find their way home.”
