Michael Doret, Alphabet Soup Type Founders: «I’m fairly new to the font world, only having five designs under my belt. Part of what slows me up is my dread of dealing with spacing and kerning. My friend Stuart Sandler suggested that on my next project I try Igino’s iKern service. I did, and to my shock and amazement my font came back as good or better than I would have done it myself! I will definitely be a return customer. iKern has made the fontmaking process much less forbidding to people like me.»

Info
I'm Igino Marini. I was born in 1964. I attended the high school specializing in classical studies: so before handling the polytonic greek I learned to translate it! Then I graduated in Civil Engineering. In 2000 I became more involved in typography digitizing the Fell Types. Realizing that I would have never wanted to devote myself to the their letterfitting I started since 2002 to deal with spacing and kerning in an engineered way. That's how the iKern project started. In 2010, after a career in building and industrial engineering, I finally became a full-time type engineer. I abandoned columns and beams, trajectories of robots or energy flows; but I never ceased to translate reality into numbers.
