History of Type - Frank Romano // CreativePro Conversations

In this CreativePro Conversation, Chuck Weger hears about the history of type from printing legend-and Professor Emeritus of the Rochester Institute of Technology-Frank Romano. Frank gives some backstory to how movable type changed printing and how those foundations got us to the ease of changing fonts on our computers today. If you’ve ever wondered how we got the technology we have in graphic design today or why type looks or behaves a certain way, you’ll want to hear what Frank has to say. He has been in the print industry for nearly 60 years and has been instrumental in the timeline of type from setting “lead” type through looking ahead to the future of web vs. print fonts. If you use type in your day to day work, you won’t want to miss the nuggets Frank Romano has to share.
🎤 CreativePro Conversations is a new video series which brings together creative professionals from a variety of fields to talk about design, communication, efficiency, learning, and how to get the work done.
Some of these conversations come from interviews presented at our online and live events and some are informal discussions among peers. But every CreativePro Conversation focuses on one thing: how to help organizations and individuals thrive, by design.
