Erik

 

van Blokland

 

 
Erik van Blokland runs the LettError office for typedesign, typography 
and technology in The Hague. Together with Just van Rossum, he 
designed several of the early digital classics, ErikRightHand, Trixie, 
Kosmik and Beowolf. For his own LettError label, Erik 
drew the award winning LTR Federal, Critter and Salmiak.

As one of the developers of RoboFab and the innovative Superpolator, 
Van Blokland believes software is a natural extension of the design 
process and deserves to be pushed to the limit. »Make common things 
fast, make complex things possible«.

Van Blokland and Van der Laan teach at the Type & Media masters course 
at the Royal Academy of Art (KABK) in The Hague. Together they 
organise the tri-annual Robothon conference on typedesign and 
technology.
