“There will always be type, and as long as designers like difference, there will always be unusual typefaces for eccentric applications.” So believes designer and author Steven Heller, but what do you think the future holds for type?
Designer Sarah Hyndman has been posing the question (via #Futureoftype) in preparation for an event at the St Bride Workshop on May 2. Part of her Type Tasting series, it promises to be “a workshop exploring Victorian display typefaces from the St Bride Library collection whilst discussing the future of type.
“Type samples from the collection will be available as templates so you can recreate the letters by hand,” Hyndman says. “These will range from Grotesque sans serifs of the 19th century to the decorative letters by Louis Jean Pouchée. During the evening you will hand render tweets received about the topic. These will be combined to create the Steampunk style Twitter feed and form the basis for the group discussion.”
As well as Heller, various other design luminaries have shared their view:
“The future of type is the same as football: everyone does it, and even more people have an opinion about it. Only a few make a living out of it, and some of these are very good,” says designer, educator, typographer Petr van Blokland while when Design Week posed the question to Erik Spiekermann, he responded “You might as well ask “What is the future of mankind?”. Why could anybody ask such a general and unspecific question? I’ll still answer it. The future of type is the past of type: visual language. As long as we speak and write, we’ll have type. Different voices, different messages, different media: different type.” Quite.

News: two European companies have launched rival Android-powered smartwatches at the Baselworld watch fair in Switzerland, bringing voice calls as well as email, video, camera and apps to devices worn on the wrist.
Dutch company Burg and Italian brand I’m both used Baselworld, the world’s leading luxury watch fair, as a launchpad for their digital devices.
Burg founder Hermen van den Burg described the reaction to his product as “amazing” and added: “Everyone thinks this is going to change the watch industry”.
Burg launched Burg 17 (top image), which runs on the Android 4.0 operating system and features a 1.54 inch screen. The company claims it is the first ever fully-functional Android-powered smartwatch.
The product offers a host of features including a voice recorder, a 2 megapixel camera, Wi-Fi and GPS. It contains a SIM card, so can be used as an alternative to a mobile phone, and will retail for €389 when it goes on sale in July.
Meanwhile I’m launched I’m Watch (above), which offers similar features to the Burg 17 but lacks a SIM card, so must be paired via Bluetooth with a mobile phone to receive calls and browse the internet.
The product runs on Android-based software called I’m Droid 2, which the company describes as “the world’s most advanced smartwatch operating system”.
Wrist-mounted devices have been generating a lot of excitement lately, with rumours that Apple is developing an iWatch and the Pebble smartwatch breaking the record for Kickstarter funding last year.
“People are aware of smartwatches because they’ve heard that Apple is developing one, but when people see we already have a smartwatch with Android and a SIM, they don’t believe it,” said van den Burg.
He added: “Smartphones are getting bigger and bigger. People are afraid they’ll lose or break them. Now you can leave your phone at home.”
Users can remove the SIM card from their phone and put it in their smartwatch when they go out, van den Burg said, or buy a second SIM card for their watch.
Van den Burg added: “Android is much easier to use than [Apple’s] iOS. Android is what people use around the world”.
