Times New Roman am Eurovision Song Contest? «Das tut den Augen weh»

Die Bühne des Eurovision Song Contest beeindruckt mit einem virtuellen Design.

Die Schriftwahl sorgt für Kritik. Sie sehe aus wie Times New Roman.

Der Artdirector der SRG erklärt, die Schrift stehe für Zurückhaltung.

Das Verdikt auf Social Media ist eindeutig: Bühne top, Musik top. Aber die Schrift: aua.

Das Kreativteam entschied sich für eine Schrift, die aussieht wie die Allerweltschrift. Nun erklärt der Artdirector, warum.

So, I’m reading the side of my oatmilk carton, and all of as sudden they’re talking about catmilk, and that’s a really completely different thing; and then I realize it’s just the Times New Roman font fucking with me.

I haven’t used Times New Roman since 2008 but I still see it pop up in the wild every now and again. So I made an explainer video about why you should stop using it and what you should use instead. #TypographyNerd

🔴 📰 🎥 Paleography and the Book Lecture “Where Did Newspaper Typeface Come From?”

“UChicago visiting scholar David Ganz discussed how influential scripts such as Caroline minuscule and Italian Humanistic served as models for typefaces like Times New Roman.”

And one of the clearer differences is the lower-case z in Times Italic vs Times New Italic, so not strictly Times New Roman.

Also, Nimbus Roman is a Times clone, not a Times New clone.

Times Old Roman

“The first true Roman typeface was designed by the Venetian printer Nicolas Jenson in 1470 and is the early modern ancestor of our font developed by Victor Lardent, a lettering artist at The Times, in London, in 1929.”

Je n'avais pas suivi le débat des "empattements" j'apprends dans cet article que la famille, des polices sans empattement,
dites aussi les linéales ou les “sans serif”. Moquées à leur début (jusqu’à être appelées les “grotesques” dans le jargon typographique), les “sans empattement” (dont font partie Aptos et Calibri) sont en train de gagner la partie. Alors bye bye #timesnewroman "policedecaractère #typography https://www.lalibre.be/debats/entretiens/2023/11/04/microsoft-souhaite-nous-recoiffer-W2YDVSTJVNCO7OVBZMP5EK62AY

Dear #Monotype,

The #publishing world demands (mostly) that #manuscripts be formatted in #TimesNewRoman. I can't change the pub industry, but you could help #authors by freeing up some #proprietary #typefaces. You've made your money 1-billion-fold. Set them free!

OK #Microsoft #Google #Apple #RedHat,

Pick a handful of high-quality, open-source typefaces & include them by default in your OSs. Work w/ the #Fedora & #Ubuntu communities to settle on the set.

My segment starts 19:00 mins into the show 🙈

@garrettzumini@mas.town @gruber @Gte Whatever you do, don’t backspace! #TimesNewRoman

@w7voa utter disgrace! #Calibri just lacks the weight and authority of #TimesNewRoman.
