A day when Osaki was dyed with fonts, a festival full of font love "CSS Nite LP61"

Blog



When I was a student, I liked festivals so much that I was on the executive committee for the school festival. Doesn't it sound like a "festival"?



I heard that there will be a font festival on Saturday, May 18th, Osaki!

(Fontworks booth management, lol)


CSS Nite LP61 "Day to think about fonts and web typesetting" (May 18, 2019)


The venue was the Osaki Bright Core Hall in Osaki, one station away from Shinagawa Station.

A collection of rare items from Fukuoka!

Many font makers exhibit booths.

We have prepared "rare items" that you can hardly see at Fontworks so that all the participants can enjoy it!

That's it!

This is a font object only at Fontworks headquarters in Fukuoka.

I brought it from Fukuoka for this day.

Chikushi typeface When, PalRamune & PalRetron scheduled to be released in July 2019 is.


On this day, Fujita, who is in the Chikushi typeface, and Ochi, who is PalRamune and PalRetron, may be present at Event, so I decided to exhibit these objects.

I wonder if all the participants would be pleased... While watching the situation, he said, "Please take a picture,"

"Wow! Cute!"
"Amazing!"
"Can I touch it?"

I was relieved that I was very interested in such things as "I was glad that I brought it..." Many people took pictures! Some people have shared it on Twitter and Instagram, so I'm really happy!

Panels will also be exhibited at the booth. This was also seen by many people.

Font-pickling day for nearly 6 hours

Event is FONTPLUS We started with a keynote speech by Mr. Sekiguchi, the uncle of the font.

afterwards, Mr. Matsuda of Phantom Inc. Basic knowledge for using web fonts properly. Mr. Takano of Switch Co., Ltd. The story of typesetting with Web contents.

And cross talk by 4 Type Designers. Ochi of Fontworks gave a presentation.

Opportunities for typeface work, future typefaces, etc.

Typeface from now on... As I mentioned earlier in the art object, it is PalRetron scheduled to be released in July 2019.

Finally, titled “Tsukushi typeface so far, and from now on”, Fontworks Fujita over 90 minutes, talk about the secret story of development so far and the future Chikushi typefaces.

It was a very fun day with a lot of content and a lot to learn!

"A day to love and enjoy learning fonts"

It was said that it was a day like that.

It's a day when Osaki was dyed with fonts. It was a festival full of font love.



Everyone who participated, the organizers, the speakers, the font makers who operated the booth, thank you very much!
