Talk
Chapter 1: Practice
March 26th 2022
Elias Hanzer is a type designer based in Berlin, Germany, where he co-runs Hanzer Liccini, a studio for graphic design and typography. Elias works with type as a generative tool to form an infinity of shapes, moving away from fixed design results, and instead making room for more open-endedness and play. Elias Hanzer is also behind ABC Arizona â the first ever sans-to-serif âSuperfamilyâ that packages all of its styles into one single variable font file.
Elias Hanzer gave a talk on March 26th 2022, for the Symposium day of the Post Design Tangle, Chapter 1, which had the theme Practice. Chapter 1 of the Post Design Tangle took place at Beckmans College of Design in Stockholm, Sweden.
During Elias’ talk the following footnotes and references comes up from the crowd in Stockholm: Rotis and Ăstberga Typeface and from the online audience: A tutorial on variable fonts; Johannes Breyer at POST 2019; Edition Typeface; Donald Knuth; 21:33; Suhrkampf Theater; MiglĂŠ Edition
