〔粵〕怎樣才算得上一個「成功」的設計師？本集從個人的成功定義出發，探討成為成功設計的多個維度，包括實用性、商業/經濟價值、影響力與及個人實現。

〔粵〕在一個瞬息萬變的世界中，我們要怎樣設計？「前瞻性思維」（Futures Thinking）如何能夠幫助我們在充滿不確定性的未來中前行？在不能確切知道未來會發生什麼事之前，處於現在的我們能做什麼？設計思維系列的第五集，Peter與我們一起討論「前瞻性思維」。

[Cantonese] How can we design when the world won’t stand still? How can Futures Thinking help us to navigate an uncertain future? What can we start making today, without knowing exactly what’s coming? Peter returns for the fifth episode of our design thinking series to talk about Futures Thinking.

Only two things could stop the graphic designer from growing up with the rest of the technological world: a failure to familiarize himself with the new areas of knowledge springing up alongside his own; and an inability to free himself from the straight-jacket of his preconceptions about the kind of tasks with which he expects to be confronted.

Excerpt from the Introduction of Ken Garland’s Graphics Handbook, 1966.

〔粵〕這一集我們為您帶來三則來自全球和本地字體設計社群的新聞:

美國國務院已禁止使用Calibri字體並重新採用Times New Roman，稱前任政府的字體選擇是「浪費的多元化舉措」。Calibri於2002–04年間設計，是微軟ClearType字體系列的一員，針對改善螢幕閱讀體驗設計。而Times New Roman則是於1930年代為倫敦《泰晤士報》設計的字體。

關於AI生成內容過度使用破折號（em dash）的爭議於近期浮現。儘管專業作家、記者和編輯為正確使用標點符號辯護，有些人卻刻意引入錯字和不正確的標點符號，以避免其作品被誤判為以AI生成。

第11 屆TypeMeet已於12月16–17日於香港知專設計學院舉行，匯聚了來自韓國、上海、寧波、東莞和長沙的講者，進行了豐富的字體設計知識交流。

[Cantonese] In this episode, we bring you three news items from the global and local typography community:

The US State Department has banned the use of Calibri and returned to Times New Roman, calling the previous administration’s font choice a ‘wasteful diversity move’. Calibri was designed in 2002–04 as part of Microsoft’s ClearType font collection to improve on-screen reading, while Times New Roman was created for The Times newspaper in London in the 1930s.

A controversy has emerged over the excessive use of em dashes in AI-generated content. While professional authors, journalists, and editors defend proper punctuation use, some writers are deliberately introducing typos and incorrect punctuation to avoid having their work misjudged as AI-generated.

The 11th TypeMeet took place at the Hong Kong Design Institute on 16–17 December, bringing together speakers from Korea, Shanghai, Ningbo, Dongguan, and Changsha for a rich exchange of typographic knowledge.
