As soon as you have read something about the life of Steve Jobs, you will know that his studies were not many and it is that when he arrived at Reed University it did not take long for him to become disenchanted with the teachings that were taught there. After the months he only attended the classes that interested him as a free listener, classes that made the world around the first Macintosh different than it would have been if I hadn't attended them.
The classes that most influenced Jobs himself were those of Robert Palladino, the professor who taught calligraphy classes at Reed University at the time.
The first Macintosh was the first computer to use "typefaces" and all thanks to Professor Robert Palladino. He was born in Albuquerque, Nueve México. At 17 years old entered the Trappist order and I study calligraphy at Our Lady of Guadalupe Abbey in Lafayette, Oregon. Well, the inspirer of the Macintosh typefaces has died at 83 years of age in absolute privacy.
Steve Jobs himself did not hesitate to attribute his inspiration in terms of typefaces to Palladino:
Ten years later, when we were designing the first computer MacintoshEverything came back to me And we designed everything on the Mac. It was the first computer with beautiful typography. If I had never attended that one course at Reed University, the Mac would never have had multiple fonts or proportionally spaced fonts.
Once again we realize that Apple has not been all a creation of Steve Jobs himself and what is more, he said it himself, It was all a set of coincidences and contributions from specific people to whom he was able to shape and create an excellent product.
And Jobs knew how to take it to the rest of the world.
