    Roxane, A Study in Visual Factors Effecting Legibility

    No full text
    Roxane is an original typeface designed by the author in response to a design analysis of visual attributes that enhance the legibility of font characteristics. The author takes issue with scientific legibility studies which focus on isolating variables to obtain verifiable results, but which are not useful in the more complex and holistic design of specific type faces. Visual analysis of type form attributes and visual principles provide the framework for this more holistic enterprise. The principles and attributes are demonstrated visually throughout the article, ending with Roxane, a typeface developed with these principles in mind

    MLK 2017|18 Visiting Speaker, Chinese American documentary film maker, author, poet, Asian storyteller, educator and community therapist Lee Mun Wah leads multiple events including the workshop An Unfinished Conversation: Diversity Conversations in the Classroom , the student dinner/dialogue How to Have a Dialogue Across Cultures , the lecture Only A World Away! and the lecture/film screening If These Halls Could Talk . It is Lee Mun Wah’s belief that we cannot wait until tomorrow for some charismatic leader to appear who will bring us all together. We each must take a stand and personally participate in this important journey of confronting our fears and beginning a conversation not only with those we love but also with those we have been taught to fear. We cannot continue being separate and unequal without there being a cost to each and every generation. Our survival and the very future of our children depend on all of us embracing our differences as well as our mutuality. If we can accomplish this in our lifetime, we can then look back and know that we have found a way to live together authentically and harmoniously, using and honoring all of our gifts and special contributions. To Lee Mun Wah, that is the true meaning of multiculturalism. - Stirfry Seminars and Consulting 2017|18 MLK Series Keynote and Honoree, author and cultural critic Roxane Gay hosts the lecture An Evening with Roxane Gay in the RISD Auditorium,17 Canal Walk, Providence RI Friday, March 2, 2018 at 7pm.
