LETTERROR  
Erik van Blokland and Just van Rossum have studied type design at the
Royal Academy for Fine & Applied Arts in The Hague. They established 'LettError' in Berlin when working on the Beowolf typeface. Now, more than ten years later, they still work together on various projects such as typefaces, sites and movies. Among their clients are the
Dutch PTT, MTV Europe, KPN (Dutch telecom), GAK (private government branch), the province of South Holland (non private government branch), Apple Computer and many others. Together with Erik's oldest brother, Petr van Blokland, they developed RoboFog, a programming tool for typedesigners. They have also developed GifWrap, a system to include type in a website without giving away fonts, BitPull, a way to make bitmapped type incredibly flexible, as well as RandomFonts and FlipperFonts, techniques to produce dynamic fonts. 'LettError' also hosts the TypoMan and Crocodile show, which are recorded in front of a live audience studio in the Netherlands. They were nominated with the QuickDraw GX Award (1994) and the Charles Nypels Award (2000).
