Announcing up.front 14th on April 12th 2011

[Kristina Schneider]

Hello everyone,
We are happy to announce the next up.front meetup.

On April 12th 2011 we will feature Sven Ellingen, Jörg Haubrichs and
Nadine Roßa.

* Nadine Roßa: The letter ß

For some people it is a trouble-maker in German orthography, for some
a shortcoming in typography but to Nadine it is the most beautiful
letter – The German Eszett.
Throughout history no other character has had to put up with so much
and almost no other letter has been the subject of so much discussion.
Her surname contains this rare character. That’s the reason why, in
her thesis, she decided to put some thought into what could be done to
place it in a better light. That was the basis of the project »Eine
scharfe Type« – A sharp character.

Nadine Roßa is a freelance designer and illustrator working in Berlin.
She's one of the publishers of the Design made in Germany Magazine and
a co-founder of LAUNCH/CO.
