In November 2005 I started an intern ship at LucasFonts in Berlin, which became a freelance engagement until End 2006. The work com­prised a glyph set exten­sion for TheSans Roman and Italic fonts and the implementation of respective Open­Type features.
In particular, I worked on the figure sys­tem, ligatures, small caps, diacritics, experimental designs for capital ligatures and even Vietnamese accents. Therefore, it was important to find an appropriate balance be­tween new and existing forms.
Besides improving technical skills, I learned a lot about the font production process at LucasFonts, which is a mixture of systematic work, attention to subtle details, and many years of experience. (plus: having a good espresso machine)
