From Homer to BFF: about how we express ourselves
a slide talk by Brian Allen, an interested amateur

A rapid ride from pre-history to a speculative future in the ways humans communicate. Socrates was not happy about the written word; calligraphic writing’s influence on early printed work; printing types through the centuries; the transition to digital; are our alphabetic symbols evolving into something different?

Brian Allen, who worked for over twenty years in digital font production, is a calligrapher and letterpress printer.
