On the heels of hav­ing won the Fed­er­al Ger­man Design Prize 2011 Life­time Achieve­ment Award from the Ger­man Design Coun­cil, Erik Spiek­er­mann is inter­viewed by Deutsche Welle TV.

From Erik’s SpiekerBlog: ‘Unfor­tu­nate­ly, the Eng­lish voiceover keeps call­ing me a “font design­er” and refers to type faces as “let­ter fonts”. I insist that we design type­faces. Those are then made into fonts which is what you buy.’
