Type design and other stuff, but type design mostly.

My most mature work, which comes after many other new type families, is probably Linotype Ergo; it's a surprisingly readable Humanist sans. It may be a little quirky, but not in ways that interfere with efficient reading. Add now to that, Linotype Really; in Latin, Cyrilic, Greek, and Central & Eastern European.

I guess my favorite face is always the one I'm working on at the moment. For all-time most beautiful face, I nominate Bruce Rogers' Centaur. It's not a general-purpose face at all, like the usual Times or Helvetica (the latter still has a beauty that is underappreciated); but Centaur lives nobly on a page and yet invites its readers to honor both it and its message with their own intelligence and understanding.
