CreativePro Conversations: Looking at the History of Type with Frank Romano

In this CreativePro Conversation, printing legend and Professor Emeritus of the Rochester Institute of Technology, Frank Romano discusses the history of type with Chuck Weger. Frank shares the backstory of how movable type changed printing, and how those early foundations eventually led to the ease with which we all browse and apply fonts in our work today.

If you use type in your day-to-day work, you won’t want to miss the insights Frank Romano has to share. He has been in the design industry for nearly 60 years and has seen it all, from metal type to web fonts.

CreativePro Conversations is a new video series which brings together creative professionals from a variety of fields to talk about design, communication, efficiency, learning, and how to get the work done.

Some of these conversations come from interviews presented at our online and live events and some are informal discussions among peers. But every CreativePro Conversation focuses on one thing: how to help organizations and individuals thrive, by design.

Chuck Weger is Principal at Elara Concepts LLC. He has over 20 years experience as owner of a computer consulting company, specializing in helping clients automate publishing workflows.
