Wed Mar 23: 'To Talk About Type' at the Northwind Arts Center

[bareboards arts & entertainment listserve]

Event Date: March 23, 2016, 7-9pm

'To Talk About Type' at the Northwind Arts Center, 701 Water Street, in Port Townsend, WA; an NBAG event with Ben Bauermeister and Owen Rowe.

Ben Bauermeister has had his fingers in type for over 30 years.  In 1982 he began work on a visual classification system for type and in 1987 the PANOSE Typographic Classification System was published.  Since then he has worked with Aldus, Microsoft, Bitstream, ITC, Linotype, Monotype, Hewlett Packard, Adobe, Amazon, and Google on various components of their typographic systems.  Ben is an entrepreneur, a graphical artist, an active community volunteer, and member of the Jefferson County population for over 20 years.

Owen Rowe’s first job in type was helping American Type Founders in their desperate last attempt to enter the digital type market in the 1980s. He moved onward and upward to Apple, Microsoft, Hewlett-Packard, and Monotype before moving out to pursue other paths as a literary translator and an arts and education organizer, though always keeping words and letters at the center. He’s lived in Port Townsend off and on since 1997.

Anyone with an interest in printing, binding, and other book arts is welcome.
