As we shared earlier today, the macOS operating system — formerly called Mac OS X — is turning 20 years old this Wednesday, March 24, 2021. To celebrate the occasion, none other than Scott Forstall decided to use his Twitter account tonight to congratulate Mac OS X.

Create even more powerful Mac versions of your iPad apps. Apps built with Mac Catalyst now take on the new look of macOS Big Sur and help you better define the look and behavior of your apps. You can choose to turn off automatic scaling of iPad controls and layout, allowing you to precisely place every pixel on the screen. Not included in P22 catalogs, this font P22 Dada (menu name P22 Dada Ultra Demi Bold Medium Oblique Condensed) took a Dadaist approach to font design. Using the Postscript bitmap limitation to its fullest (where in then contemporary Mac OS, the screen font featured bitmaps for each size of the font. VirtualBox remains one of the best ways to run any number of operating systems and distros within Windows 10. One of these is the elusive macOS, the operatin.

In a post on his personal Twitter account, which he doesn’t use often, Forstall celebrates the 20th anniversary of Mac OS X and remembers when Steve Jobs decided on the name for the 10th version of Apple’s operating system.

“I still remember when we named you. In a small room in IL1. When Steve slashed a large X on the wall and smiled. Look at how far you’ve come from a young Cheetah,” said Forstall. The system was named Mac OS at that time, but Apple had been working on a completely new version that came to be Mac OS X.

Long-time Mac users may remember that the first versions of Mac OS X were named after big cats, but that was only because Apple used “Cheetah” as the codename for Mac OS X 10.0. After that, the company decided to use the big cat names for other versions of OS X, such as Puma, Tiger, and Leopard.

Scott Forstall worked for NeXT with Steve Jobs since 1992 and joined Apple in 1997 after the company was acquired. He became SVP of software at Apple in 2003 and was deeply involved with the development of iPhone in 2005 — which made Forstall to be considered the “father of iOS.” In 2006, he took the lead in the development of Mac OS X as well.

Forstall left Apple in 2012 after the Apple Maps controversy in which the company replaced Google Maps with its own map solution, which was deemed unfinished and buggy. He was mainly replaced by Craig Federighi, who leads Apple’s software engineering to this day.

Books to avoid 'bad' type

'As a college professor in the graphic design program, I see ALOT of 'bad' typography. However, with a little time, training and reading, the students can and WILL surprise you. Here are some of the books I recommend and teach from: typographic WORKBOOK [a primer to history, techniques, and artistry], Kate Clair; 20th - Century Type, Lewis Blackwell; About Face: Reviving the rules of typography, David Jury; Type Rules!, Ilene Strizver; Designing with Type: A Basic Course n Typography - Fourth Edition, James Craig; The Elements of Typographic Style, Robert Bringhurst, and last but definitely NOT least... Stop Stealing Sheep & find out how type works, Erik Spiekermann & E.M. Ginger. I also try to let the students know that typographic education is a life long endeavor for graphic designers.
So although this might not be about 'type that sucks', it demonstrates that in the beginning all type sucks... until you learn about how type works. Thanks. Mac PowerBook G4 - Panther 10.3.5 Any or all Adobe and Macromedia software...'

Type should enhance the sentiment

Donna writes:
'I'm a computer technology teacher in high school. One of my first lessons surrounds the importance of choosing a font that enhances the sentiment of the message.
To illustrate to my students exactly what I mean, I show them two examples of the same quote and have them decide which typeface better helps get the message across. On one poster, in a smooth, rounded, flourshing font such as Apple Chancery, I have the quote 'Anger is one letter away from Danger'. On the second poster I have the same quote in a font called Engravers MT. Its hard sharp and pointed serifs always win the vote as the preferred choice to use for this quote. It's obvious when pointed out, that any dangerous angry thing would involve features of sharp and jagged, while something smooth, flowing or curly denote soft and lovely or happy. I could probably go to a site and download more extreme examples of fonts but these stock fonts alone, manage to tell the tale.
If you find you have some exploration time on your hands you should go to this site abstractfonts.com, it's an extensive source for free fonts. They boast of being the biggest free font site on the planet...9,329. So if you are obsessed about finding THE perfect font you might try there. I just bought a lovely new G5 (10.3.5). My favorite software is Photoshop. I think I would love Illustrator the best but I don't know how to use it nearly as well as PS. I have an old version of PageMaker and I like it fine but I'm told that quark is the way to go for DTP. As I said earlier I'm a teacher. I have MAC versions of what my school computers have. They are all PCs, yet I am able to communicate very well across platforms.'

Type: restraint is best

Jim writes:
'Regarding type, restraint is best. Too many different faces or styles on a page always looks busy. Take a look at the information you are attempting to convey. Set similar information in similar type. Change the treatment of the type when the information is different. There's nothing more confusing to a viewer than when the type changes (even just to italics) for no apparent reason whatsoever. I'm on a Mac, using Quark, Photoshop, GoLive, Flash, etc.'

Font Theme found 'Inspiring'

Tom writes:
'This was a inspiring feature. I work hard to make my typograhy look good, and this month's fonts theme offered some new ideas that I intend to explore. I like developing a basic font look in Adobe Illustrator. This would include kerning, leading and baseline adjustments. I then import the AI file into Photoshop. I leave the text in the AI file black and use the color overlay or gradiant overlay layer styles to color the text in Phtoshop. I work on Macintosh and work heavily in Illustrator, Photoshop and Flash MX.'

Often overlooked in mailing envelopes

Sudarshan writes:
'Typography is often overlooked in mailing envelopes. We need to balance the needs of modern mail machines with aesthetics. The U.S. Postal Service recommends the use of fonts that make OCR (Optical Character Recognition) easy. In addition, barcodes can speed mail delivery. Users of TeX and LaTeX may wish to use the 'envlab'(*) package, which typesets addresses in a machine-friendly font and, in addition, includes a barcode. It also permits creative use of fonts in the return address, which is not subject to the OCR restrictions. I use TeX on a Debian GNU/Linux system.'

Mike writes about using fonts

Boxumo Mac Os Update

Mike writes:
'Mac OS X has opened up a new world of cross-platform font and design sharing, IMHO. OS X has the native ability BUILT RIGHT IN to use anyone's 'old' style OS 9 Postscript and TrueType fonts AND Windows-PC TrueType fonts, too. These fonts may now peacefully co-exist in a single computing environment.
While my article at MacWichita.com is a bit dated, most of the principles of the article still apply to Panther, the latest incarnation of OS X. The Mac vs. PC war of fonts is now a cold war or police action. This means that graphic design files from Quark, Photoshop, Illustrator, Canvas, and other applications can now be truly cross-platform 'out of the box,' as long as one remembers to send fonts along with their projects. This makes the service bureau function of printing film negatives that much easier...they can print most projects from the Mac, long the choice of the graphic arts field.
In addition, companies offering the latest affordable, short-run digital color technologies also profit from the Mac<->PC cold war for the same reasons.
The final impact of OS X for this user in particular is the ability to find considerably more freeware and shareware fonts on the Internet, since most are for Windows PCs. One or a pair of such Windows PC fonts that I used on OS X resulted in this fine logo at haleysplace.com, and in miscellaneous retail signage. With OS X's cutting edge font technology, i.e. the ability to use Windows PC TrueType fonts that are easily found on the Internet, I have considerably more font resources available for my graphic and web design projects.'

Font Fairy tops the list

Martha writes:
'My favorite free font download place used to be fontfairy.com. It featured a buxom, hot pink fairy who dispensed free (mostly Mac) fonts every month. I was devastated to learn today that the URL now comes up with links to buy fonts and other stuff. I have fond memories of the finding fonts from Three Islands, Font Diner, FontHead, some really strange grunge foundries, some Goth graveyard fonts and even the old standards like ITC. Some foundries even had a little history quiz with hints to learn the history of the font. I love free fonts, but even more, I loved learning about what's going on out there in creation land. My favorite font from fontfairy.com was Good Dog Cool, Plain and Bones which led me to Fonthead. BTW, I'm on a Mac using OS X Panther Thanks again for all you do.'

Type can 'make or break' the design

James writes:
'The type of font chosen can make or break a design. It is the key elemnt in almost every design. The is no getting around it, you have to be properly trined in typography. The sad part is, that is almost every new designer's weakest point. The form of the typeface you chose has to capture the very essence of the design you wish to proclaim, or else your precious design intestions and future will be lost in the confusion.If you want to be a true professional, you must know your typefaces in and out, have the true type fonts that make printing a breeze and you must collect every font you possibly can, so your design will have a fresh and new appeal. In a one word statement, typography will effect your design's entire IMPACT.'

A clean layout makes any font better

Allen writes:
'I like a clean look in fonts. It must be the engineer in me, but fonts that are too frilly or fancy are almost always overused. A clean layout makes any font better; specialty fonts should be used sparingly. My platform is no longer apple, but pc. Favorite software is a tie between photoshop and signlab.'

Different strokes... (No pun intended)

Everyone has their own favorite fonts and typography techniques. You'll notice however that most people can recognize good type from bad type. Something to think about next time you're faced with a visual communications project involving type and typography.
