AI is affecting all of the creative industries and typography is by no means immune. Should typographers worry? Well, that depends on how you look at it, and it also depends on how immersed you are in the industry, are you designer with a passing interest in the best free fonts who occasionally does typography tutorials, or are you living and breathing type?
As part of Typography Week, I spoke to two people in the latter category to discover their thoughts (we also covered how AI is changing typography in more depth). Tom Foley and Tom Rickner both work for Monotype: Tom Foley as executive creative director, and Tom Rickner as senior studio director. I'll refer to them from now on as Tom F and Tom R.
