Frederik Berlaen 1/1

Frederik Berlaen is a multi-talented Belgian type designer, programmer and teacher, who just fell in love with scripting while attending the postgraduate Type & Media course at the KABK in The Hague. He didn’t graduate with a typeface, but an application that eventually set the foundation for his recently released typescripting program, Robofont. We ask him what drove him to create his own tools. He tells us how he misses drawing, how scripting can save a designer in several ways and even makes a confession on Typeradio about his thoughts on sharing. Recorded at Integrated 2011, Antwerp, Belgium.
