this talk provides an overview of Renaissance type design, focusing on peculiar types that are object of my research, from Gutenberg’s dk type to the Jenson roman. I will then present some of my recent type designs, which draw on direct revivals of Renaissance models as well as more nuanced inspirations derived from them.

The talk will be held in english.

Konuşma ingilizce olacaktır.

bu konuşma, Rönesans yazıtipi tasarımına genel bir bakış sağlayacak; araştırmamın konusu olan, Gutenberg’in dk hurufatından Jenson’un roman hurufatına uzanan özgün yazıtiplerine odaklanacaktır. Ardından konuşmamda, doğrudan Rönesans modellerinin canlandırılmasına dayanan ya da onlardan daha nüanslı biçimde esinlenen bazı güncel yazıtipi tasarımlarımı sunacağım.
