History of the Hershey fonts
Originally created in 1967, the “Hershey Fonts” are among the earliest digital representations of type. Their creator, Dr. Allen Vincent Hershey, was not an ordinary typeface designer – he was employed as a theoretical physicist at the Naval Weapons Laboratory in Dahlgren, VA. Hershey’s usual work was mostly theoretical: he concerned himself with the analysis of submerged ships and their influence the waves flowing above, he calculated how liquids behave when they flow around objects, and analyzed ship hulls.
The Didot style: a short survey of the career of Firmin Didot
Didot is the name of a French family which was involved with printing, publishing, papermaking, punchcutting and typefounding over almost three centuries. Its most prominent members designed many typefaces between the 1780s and 1830s; yet, what is called and still known as the ‘Didot style’ was the achievement of Firmin Didot (1764–1836) and the peak of a persistent maturation process.
