Typographer Laureate, Rod McDonald

One more typography post and then it’ll be given a rest of a couple of entries. This one comes from the current issue of Step Magazine; a story about Canadian designer and magazine-proclaimed Typorgrapher Laureate, Rod McDonald. It’s a terrific short piece about this brilliant artist’s history, as well as short discussions about three of the typefaces he designed. It makes for a very interesting story, given that he’d been such a large figure in type, but had not yet put his hand to creating a new typeface until fairly recently.
