I thought I'd take a minute to highlight a great man in our industry who's still at it out in Palm Springs, CA. Bob Trogman (AKA Dr. Type). He has designed a crazy number of fonts that we all take for granted today. From Myfonts.com: "Creator of over five thousand film fonts under the name of Facsimile Fonts and FotoStar International. Some noteworthy fonts are Handel Gothic, Roberta, Blippo, Buxom and Yagi Double (CNN Logo)."

I had the honor of taking his typography class at Cal State LA in the 90s. Learned more in this one class than all my other design classes combined... by far!
If you're interested in typographical design, look this guy up and send him a note. He loves to talk type and knows the subject better than anybody!

Cheers to all.... and many thanks to Dr. Type!



My two cents - I would love to see the moderators of this site do interviews of guys like this.
