Justus Erich Walbaum was a very famous German type founder and punchcutter of the late 18th and early 19th centuries. By simply starting his life off making confectioners molds, Justus Walbaum was later able to designed two of his most famous typefaces, Walbaum. and Walbaum Fraktur. Born in 1768, Justus Walbaum grew up the district of Haverlah called Steinlah, which is known more commonly as modern Lower Saxony. Unlike many Renaissance graphic artists who began their careers by engraving weapons, as a young boy Walbaum was an apprentice to a confectioner, his main job being engraving confectioner’s molds for several types of candy and other sweets. This job was eventually his gate way into cutting type punches and type-founder’s tools. As stated earlier Walbaum was a punch cut designer who carved steel punches used as a master to stamp matrices, the molds used to cast metal type. That process begins after the initial letter design is drawn out, the outline is then transferred to one end of a steel bar. The outer shape of the punch could be cut directly, but the internal curves of a punch were difficult since it was necessary to cut deep and straight into the metal. Instead, a type of punch used in the cutting of other punches called …show more content…
Modern types represented the ultimate typographic development of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. The family of fonts Justus Walbaum created shows this shift quite gracefully between the styles of type. We can see a shift in style by just looking at his Walbaum Fraktur type which is in the style of blackletter. He designed this font somewhat preceding his Walbaum font in the 1800s, Walbaum Fraktur is a classic and strong blackletter type design. In comparison to his original Walbaum font, Fraktur works best in headlines and other masculine like design settings as opposed to legible type
Boniface Wimmer is regarded as one of the greatest missionaries of the nineteenth century. His mission was to establish a Benedictine monastery abroad in the United States to help the thousands of Catholic Germans who fled from their homeland in search of a better life. “Today, there are over thirty Abbeys and monasteries that take their root from Archabbot Boniface Wimmer, O.S.B.” With the grace of God, Boniface Wimmer succeeded. He was considered to be a “man on a mission.” His tenacious attitude aided him in spreading the mission of the Benedictine Order across the Atlantic Ocean. The Benedictines were seen not only as missionaries, but also as teachers and priests. The strong sense of bonding and connection within the community was vital to the Benedictine Order then, as it still is today.

By being educated at a young age in literacy, I included it in my pottery and also working for newspaper companies strengthened my form of expression.

I did it because I had to but also to learn. By understand typography, I was able to understand the science of the anatomy of type. They taught me the use of size, spacing, and placement of typography in order to show hierarchy, direction and attraction. I became to understanding that type is a collective of shapes and strokes. Master Abner 's newspaper did not get a lot of publicity and hit a crisis, which led him to cease publication of the newspapers. Master Abner then moved to Columbia, South Carolina, in 1832.

1. According to Peter Freund, there are two ways of using the term disability. It can be related to a person’s cultural category as well as their social or bio-medical status. When it comes disability theory, there is a second way in which the term is used, which relates to the inability to engage in a specific activity and is reconstructed by a socio-cultural context into a disability. Like most labels, there are socio-political consequences that come from being labelled, as a person with a disability, such as job discrimination and being eligible for special accommodations, like parking spaces. On the other hand, Freund defines an impairment with a negative connotation and believes that it is restricted mostly by its bio-medical standpoint. Which excludes differences within the bodies that are not classified as impairments but still seen as disabling in certain contexts e.g. being too tall or short. However, Freund does only focus on impairments but physical and mental differences and their connection to socio-cultural arrangements. In other words, the main difference between impairments and disability
