DTL LetterModeller (LeMo)
[Frank E. Blokland]
DTL LetterModeller (LeMo) is an application for the exploration and parameterisation of (certain parts of) type-design processes. It is developed by Frank E. Blokland with the programming help of URW++ people Jürgen Willrodt, Hartmut Schwarz, and Axel Stoltenberg. The application is the result of Frank's PhD research at Leiden University on the systematization and standardization of Renaissance font production. The models generated with LeMo can be used as a direct basis for type design, or just for generating examples for writing with the broad nib. The new LeMo V5 (2016) can be downloaded for free from here. This new version of LeMo has become a highly flexible and adjustable full-functioning font editor. It contains many features, such as intelligent scaling and stem adjustment. LeMo V5 cannot open .ufo files: it will only import .be files. The 45-page book that explains LeMo is On the Origin of Patterning in Movable Latin Type (Lulu.com). |
