Frank Blokland

On the origin of patterning in movable Latin type: Renaissance standardisation, systematisation, and unitisation of textura and roman type 
(Oktober 2016)
This research was conducted to test the hypothesis that the German inventor of movable Latin type Johannes Gutenberg (c.1400–1468) and his colleagues developed a highly standardized system for creating textura foundry type. In addition, this system was adapted for the production of roman type in Renaissance Italy. For this purpose, the humanistic handwriting was cast in predetermined proportions, arising from an intrinsic systematization in the written source models. This research aimed to demonstrate that technical aspects of Renaissance type production had a direct influence on the proportions of textura, roman, and ultimately italic type, and thus to the related conditioning that forms the basis of the perception of typographers and readers. Not only has this research provided greater insight into the origins of Latin type, but the results can also be used for a more consistently organized digital-font production, and for the parameterization of type-design processes. It provided the basis for software for applying customizable frameworks based on the patterns derived from the archetypal Renaissance type models. Some of these tools can, for example, be used to replace optical spacing completely or it can be applied additionally to spacing by eye. See also www.lettermodel.org.

Mark van Tongeren is a sound explorer and performance artist. He did ground-breaking research and vocal experiments in the field of overtone singing, which he began studying around 1990. During his PhD studies he founded a vocal laboratory (Paraphony) to develop little known aspects of multi-voiced harmonic singing. He created a series of compositions for two or more voices, called 0… (‘Nulpunten’ or ‘Zero-points’), which make audible hundreds of possible connections or permutations within the natural harmonic series, so that it ‘encounters itself.’ The results were presented in 2010 and 2013 by Mark van Tongeren and Rollin Rachelle, aka the Superstringtrio, in the performances entitled 0… and Incognito Ergo Sum in Amsterdam and Poland. Composer Paul Oomen also conducted the three-hour Overtone Singing Marathon held at the occasion of van Tongeren’s PhD defense in 2013.
