In 1995 he started to work on “Digital Typography” and developed programs for paragraph-fit, page-fit, and chapter-fit which typeset a chapter of a book in a manner that it starts on a right and ends on a left page without hurting typographic rules. During all this years, he viewed ads in magazines to learn about application of typefaces - their effect on, expression to, and perception by the reader, and their congeniality.
