Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Fred Smeijers is a Dutch graphic, type designer and writer. He studied at the ArtEZ Hogeschool voor de Kunsten in Arnhem in the early 1980s. After his graduation, Smeijers worked for Oc - a Dutch manufacturer of printing and copying hardware. Between 1986 and 1990, he worked at the Oc 's industrial design department as a typographic advisor, designing typefaces for early laser printers. In the mid-80s Smeijers started to develop an interest in the early 16th century technique of punchcutting. The insights he acquired from these experiments influence the way he designs typefaces.
