Designing and implementing complete fonts is an intensive labor. On the one hand, to find a style for the base characters that responds to a specific need is in itself a creative challenge. On the other hand, the task of implementing the complete set of Open Type characters is a thorough mechanical task.
The approach of Agile Development is a set of techniques used to develop team solutions. It is the outcome of collaboration, reviews and rapid responses by designers.
Julien Priez (Fontyou) and Pedro Amado (University of Aveiro) will apply the method of the Design Studio to demonstrate how co-creation can accelerate the process of idea development and encourage rapid implementation of character sets in a team.
