Eleisha Pechey

British type designer at Stephenson Blake, 1831 (Bury St. Edmunds)-1902 (London). Designer of Windsor at Stephenson Blake (cut by William Kirkwood in 1905, digital version now available at Bitstream), of Booklet Italic (punches cut in 1904 by William Kirkwood), of Long Imperial Script (punches cut in 1906 by Karl Gomer), and of Grotesque No 9 (1906). Question: How can Pechey have designed a font four years after passing away? I got the date 1906 from the Scangraphic site, but either that is wrong, or Myfonts.com erred--still researching this. Charlemagne (1886, ornamantal) is supposed to be a Photoscript font according to Berthold Headlines E3---again a mistake. In 2009, Göran Söderström (Autodidakt) and Peter Bruhn (Fountain) published Trailering Heroine, which was inspired by Windsor, Pechey's typeface that is used in the titles of many Woody Allen movies.

Anymals (2008) is one of my favorites: it has dingbats of imaginary undersea monsters. Strangelove (2009) is inspired by the title sequence of Stanley Kubrick's movie Dr. Strangelove. The original titles where designed by Pablo Ferro, who is one of the most acclaimed film title designers, especially famous for his hand-drawn lettering. With Georg Herold-Wildfellner, he created the Victorian family Ivory in 2009. You Work For Them link. [Google]

He also created Hannibal Lecter, about which we learn this: Officially, Hannibal Lecter font does not exist because it is an exact copy of P22 Cezanne (that font is expensive).Some time ago, mr Ziehn had a legal issue with the designer who created Cezanne. After that, he had to remove HL from his site. But since HL was once claimed as free and there are no terms of use in the font file, it appears here and there for download until they get a warning from the P22 foundry. The website of Jens R. Ziehn seem to not exist anymore either. BTW, LD Fierro is also very similar to P22 Cezanne, but it is not a 100% copy and you can obtain it legal way. Alternate URL. Alternate URL. Another URL.

Designer of the handwriting Harry Potter font "Hagrid2" (2002). Mark Simonson makes a stink about this typeface, as he claims that it is an imitation of his Felt Tip Roman, a commercial face.

Screenfont.ca
[Joe Clark]

Joe Clark (Toronto) is developing special fonts for captioning and subtitling for TV and film. Joe's motto is Watching TV is bad enough. Reading TV shouldn't be worse. Two interesting sub-pages: Here he explains the difference between captioning and subtitling. Captions are basically for the deaf, and are manually turned on. They not only describe what is said or heard but also mention or show things about the intonation, style, language, or nature of the voices or sounds. Subtitling is mostly used to translate. It is generally automatically turned on, and shown at the bottom of the screen. On this page, Joe lists the main issues with captioning and subtitling and lists the many problems with popular subtitling faces such as Bitstream's Tiresias or Monotype's Arial. Speaker at ATypI 2007 in Brighton. [Google]

Tiresias: Critique by Joe Clark
[Joe Clark]

Joe Clark (Toronto) deflates the balloon blown up by Bitstream regarding John Gill's Tiresias, which was specially developed for screen captioning. His main points:

• It was tested on only a few dozen people, but is marketed as a font for everyone.
• Some of the tests for this claimed caption and subtitle font used printouts, not captions or subtitles.
• It is claimed to be superior to typefaces like Times, even though what were talking about are screenfonts, not print fonts.
• It costs up to $17,500, but it does not even have an italic.
• Its researchers admit to little expertise in typography, yet the researchers parent organization receives 40% of the retail price.
• It is claimed to be a better solution to a specific problem than a generic typeface would be, but it has itself turned into a generic typeface that is misapplied to specific problems.
• The ingenious, unique typeface has already been partially cloned, via a competing knockoff typeface with a different design and identical widths.
• It is ugly by design.
