Zuzana Licko’s fonts were some the first non-system fonts I ever used. They were useful and cool. They made my design look good.
Rudy VanderLans’ writing was some of the first design writing I ever read. It was insightful and approachable. It made me feel like I was part of the future.
So you can imagine a combo of nerves and thrill when I was asked to write the preface for this book. Still seems unreal.
