ANNOUNCING ClearType, PART OF MICROSOFT’S NEW WINDOWS OPERATING SYSTEM “VISTA”

Eiichi Kono, EJF Board member, has designed Meiryo, a Japanese ClearType font for the Microsoft Corporation. Eiichi Kono began his working life in the photo optical industry in Japan, and became fascinated by the universality of the Latin alphabet. This brought him, in 1974, to study at the London College of Printing and on to the Royal College of Art for Information Graphics, linked with the Readability Print Research Unit. His first paid job was a White Paper diagram for the London Clearing Banks! Then the redesign of London Underground Sans "New Johnston" for text setting as well as display use, and the BT telephone directory space saving and legibility feasibility study. He has taught typography at Middlesex and Brighton Universities, and been engaged in much graphic design work (Arts Council of Great Britain, Broadgate, WHSmith, TOYOTA), corporate identity (Pearson, ITN) and publishing design (The Economist, British Medical Journal). He is currently directing a team developing optimal legibility for Japanese onscreen fonts, known as ClearType, for the Microsoft Corporation.
