I hope I am finally done, but since we are in the process of getting funding for research into negative contrast applications, so I’m sure I’ll draw some more. Over last ten years I have drawn close to 200 different Clearview fonts for various purposes, clients and research studies. Don started this 14 years ago and brought me in 10 years ago. Don contacted me when it became clear he wasn’t going to be able to do the type design. He began work on the design and the initial research. Don Meeker came up with the idea, decided a better solution was possible. The Clearview Parkway on Long Island never “commissioned” Clearview (I’m unaware that it is even being used on the Clearview). To me, European signage type is a bit cold, although the signage systems overall tend to be more usable. How much driving have you done in the US? Majoor’s Telefont: no trapping – big red flag on that one, sorry. Although I also miss having two superpowers. Yesterday I saw a bumper sticker that really spoke to me: “Dude, where’s my country?” I miss America. The good things, like fairness, and adventurism, are fading fast: look at how the world is treated, and how parks no longer have see-saws. What attracted me to America is still in me, and it’s still in America, but “hamuh pakhav”, as we say in Armenian: the taste is gone. I’ve changed (although maybe not for the better – but I’m me, not a state), and the US has too (and few would say for the better). Immigration is the sincerest form of flattery.
