Certainty through craft: from cutting to computing, a quietly remarkable career in type design

Extended and richly illustrated interview with type designer Freda Sack (1951–2019) which addresses the technical contribution she made to type design through her work at Letraset, which progressed from hand-cutting stencils to training on Ikarus, an early type digitisation technology. The interview text is accompanied by information panels on the Ikarus system and Sack’s immediate design network.

An unusual text in terms of its technical concerns and simply because the subject rarely granted interviews.
