I’ve always taken an interest in it, but I often found it was not useful for me as a designer. Did the process change your mind about science? Type designers are often very suspicious of legibility research. You worked in close collaboration with Microsoft’s Kevin Larson, famous for his legibility research, and with the designers at Tiro Typeworks. The most recent project where you collaborated with technicians and scientists is Sitka, a new serif family that comes with MS Windows 8.1. What is Sitka? I found the best explanation here on myfonts in an interview with the designer Matthew Carter. Long long ago I worked on typography at Apple and Microsoft. Being an old font guy, I still get a kick out of studying fonts. You won’t hear much about Microsoft’s Sitka font.
