Peter Biľak does many things. He runs Typotheque, a type foundry and design studio. He just finished publishing Works That Work, a series of magazines about hidden creativity. He's one of the founders of Fontstand. So much to talk about! We talk — well, Peter talks mostly, I listen — about the complex mastery of typography, we talk about designing fonts for non Latin scripts, and about coming up with new viable and honest business models because nobody else does.
… right now I am advocating inclusion of beauty as an attribute of design, on the other hand the whole reason why I started Works that Work was because of this obsession with surface
Peter also talks about this fantastic project he worked on. It’s about creating a new language for a new country and documenting how a new language forms. We end this fascinating conversation with a small lecture about beauty.
