Yanone
Yanone, born Jan Gerner in 1982 as the second son of a mechanical engineer and an industry archtitect in Dresden, German Democratic Republic, is a young graphic and type designer, multimedia artist, discjockey and sound system operator currently residing in a commune just outside of Weimar in the heart of Germany. After spending nine years of his childhood and early youth in Addis Ababa, capital of Ethiopia, due to a professorship of his father at the capital's university he returned to unified Germany to finish his secondary education. His father sat him down at the computer to teach him the programming language Pascal at 14, which sparked his wish to become an information scientist. Designing his secondary school graduate yearbook in 2000 and early attempts of web design got him interested in graphic design in general, and type design in specific was soon to follow.
He commenced studies of Information Technology at the Bauhaus-University in Weimar in 2002, and switched to Visual Communications two years later. Since type design has never officially been a curriculum in Weimar a close friend gave him the intial toolset and feeling for designing individual letters and combinations thereof. His seven university years also brought him to Amman/Jordan for an internship at Amman based design and branding office SYNTAX and to Berlin for an internship at FontShop International. There he learned the technical skills necessary to produce high quality typefaces which cemented his ongoing development as a type designer and technician.
He completed his studies in Weimar in 2009 with a rather extensive type design project. Ahmad Humeid, former speaker at Typo Berlin and CEO of SYNTAX, invited him again to Jordan to take part in their latest branding project for Greater Amman Municipality, capital of Jordan. Out came a family of 22 fonts, of Arabic and Latin alphabet, upright and cursive, Sans and Serif for the branding of Amman. The typeface includes the first ever digital real italic as a companion to the upright script. His graduation typeface can be spotted all over Amman by now and was published as FF Amman in the FontFont library in 2010.
In September 2010 Yanone will commence the Type]Media masters degree at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Den Haag to further work on his calligraphy and type design skills.
