He is the head of the Type[Media Master of Design program in Typeface Design at the Royal Academy of Art, The Hague in the Netherlands.〔http://typographics.com/people/erik-van-blokland〕 == Typeface design == Erik van Blokland collaborated with fellow Dutch typographer Just van Rossum to fuse programming and letterform design in a hack to the PostScript programming language. The result was the FF Beowolf typeface, the first dynamically generated typeface, which modified letterforms on the fly. Using a randomizing algorithm to generate different letter forms each time a letter was printed. FF Beowolf laid the foundation for the FontFont library. Erik and Just own and operate the Letterror type foundry.〔An A-Z of Type Designers By Neil Macmillan Yale University Press, 2006〕 His typeface Trixie was an influence on grunge design as one of the earliest entries into the distressed type genre. It was famously used in the iconic logo for The X-files TV series.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Story :: FF Trixie, Typewriter Font )〕 Other typefaces of note include ''Eames Century Modern'', a typeface based on the legacy of Charles and Ray Eames, designed with the co-operation of The Eames Office for House Industries and ''Federal'', a highly intricate interpretation of the typography of bank notes, based on a study of siderography - the steel engraving process used for currency and old fashioned stocks.〔http://letteror.com/〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Erik van Blokland」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
