• Is making a modular typeface easy or hard?
Yes, comparing to non-modular typefaces. If you have the correct modules you can easily make characterforms. And you can forget the optical adjustments which you will have to carry out normally. That saves a lot of time!

• Have you ever designed a typeface you consider to be modular?
Yes, for practical reasons I made a simple and modular typeface: Perm (see first picture down here: lp-perm.gif). For carving letters into stone I made stencils of modules (see second picture down here: sjabloon.jpg). So you can easily draw the outlines of Perm on the stone (see third picture down here: letterscursiefproeven.jpg).

• Modular typefaces seem to be something designers keep rediscovering. Why is that?
People love to rediscover old practises and re-use them. And it can be very useful to solve practical problems.

• What do you think the first modular typeface is?
Surely it must be a long time ago...

Succes en groet!

Decoder by Gerard Unger.

Van Doesburg designed a typeface where each character was based upon a square divided into 25 smaller squares, developing long before the Macintosh computer and pixel-based fonts. It has been revived as Architype Van. Doesburg.
