[ES] El equipo de OERT está trabajando duro desde que el proyecto logró su primera meta de financiación en Navidad. Después de 3 meses, ya estamos casi listos para lanzar el sitio www.oert.org También hemos creado un foro de discusión que queremos invitarle a unirse al Foro OERT donde discutiremos todos los aspectos del proyecto. En abril publicaremos otra actualización para anunciar el lanzamiento del proyecto!

[EN] The OERT team has been hard at work since our project reached its first funding goal at Christmas time. After 3 months, we are nearly ready to launch the www.oert.org site. We have also set up a discussion forum that we wish to invite you to join OERT Forum where all aspects of the project can be discussed. Look for a further update in April to announce the launch of the project!

Update #3: Who will analyze and review typefaces?

Posted on November 23, 2011

After 2 weeks we have raised nearly $2,000! Thank you to all our supporters so far! 

We are now proud to announce  the typography experts who will analyze typefaces as part of the OERT project:

  • Ana Sanfelippo and Pablo Ugerman (CDT-UBA graduated; typeface analysis), César Puertas (KABK graduated; typeface analysis)
  • Pablo Cosgaya, Natalia Pano and Marcela Romero (FADU/UBA professors, design review)

Thanks to Josep Patau Bellart from Unos Tipos Duros and Daniel Hernandez from LatinoType for their support with this $100 reward!

We are also happy to announce the type designers who are offering private type design review consultations in support of this project:

  • Alejandro Paul, Sudtipos (AR)
  • Darío Muhafara, Tipo Foundry (AR)
  • Eduardo Tunni, Tipo Foundry (AR)
  • José Scaglione, TypeTogether (AR)
If you are working on a new typeface design independently, this is rare chance to have your work critiqued by these seasoned professionals. If you pledge $300 or more, you will be able to pick which expert reviews your work!

Please help us to spread the word about our project in our third week :-)
