Interview with Andi AW. Masry How did you fall in love with type design?

I got to know the ins and outs of the Latin characters from the first grade of e lementary school. My father, a retired teacher, first of all taught me cursive w riting and also how to make handcrafted letters on paper. I did this without thi nking too much and had great fun for many years. Then one day, I finally realize d that he had laid the foundations of modern type design and that allows me to u nderstand more about type design. Fortunately, ever since my formal education, my hobbies and activities have alwa ys been associated with painting, photography, typography and calligraphy. Part of my job even involved the lettering on engineering drawings, for some time. Al l of this gave me invaluable experience for the day when I was introduced to dig ital typography and was able to cultivate further my skills in type design. How many typefaces have you developed until now? Up until now, nine of my typefaces have been published: five free fonts and four commercial fonts (Slantblaze, Geegantic, Creator Campotype, Coomeec ). At least f ive font families have not been published and I have also developed some design concepts. The Coomeec family was first issued and trademarked by Linotype. In fact graphic design and typography is very difficult to separated they grow and develop together and complement each other ... Is type design what you are mainly doing? What is your profession aside from typ e design? This may sound a bit strange. But I share my time 100-0 or 0-100 between graphic des ign and type
