Samuel Čarnoký (1981) is a graphic designer, university teacher, typographer, and type-maker. He completed his master›s degree in the Visual Communication Studio at the Faculty of Arts of the Technical University in Košice (2006). He also continued his doctoral studies at the Faculty of Arts (2012 - 2015), during which he participated in an educational exchange at the Studio of Type Design and Typography at the Academy of Arts, Architecture & Design in Prague (2013 - 2014). For his dissertation, in which he mapped the development of digital type in Slovakia from the very beginning, he won the 2016 Award of the Minister of Education, Science, Research and Sports of the Slovak Republic for student design in the Slovak Design Award -- Communication Design. Since 2010, he has been creating and publishing fonts under the CarnokyType brand. Do you prefer using the type of others or your own in work? I follow the principle of choosing the type that best suits the specific purpose. Although it is naturally tempting, I do not try to promote using my own fonts at all costs. If my type fits, I'm happy to use it. I also see it as a good opportunity to test fonts in specific situations, find out how they work, take note of any room for improvement, and learn from them in the future. As a result, it has a different, practical impact for the client and me as the design author because it eliminates the cost of purchasing licenses for type use. Depending on the projects I come in contact with and my current needs, I try to expand my type portfolio. In many cases, however, I reach for the type by other authors. When selecting, I usually first look for options among domestic type or quality production from Czech typographers, then among referred popular type-makers around the world. If the project requires it, I also reach for proven freeware options. You are also the author and co-author of several titles. How do you see this experience? The author's work on book projects was very demanding. With the book Fonts SK, I coexisted in several professions simultaneously. I ended up in the role of author of texts and editor. I overlooked the search for documents and translations of texts; I managed the communication with the printers, publisher, and distributor; I took care of the promo and, of course, dealt with the graphic design of the publication -- the more enjoyable part of the work. The book Neon Lights and Advertising Typography in Eastern Slovakia Till 1989 was the first book project on which I tested my authorial and editorial work. Compared to the book Fonts SK, it was a bit easier because we shared the work with the co-author Radoslav Sinčák -- it was a form of teamwork. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi has urged the United States to stop the unwarranted harassment and interrogation of Chinese citizens, particularly Chinese students, at U.S. airports. These incidents are part of a broader trend initiated by an executive order signed by former U.S. President Donald Trump in 2019, which introduced a selective ban on visas for certain Chinese students and scholars. The restrictions have resulted in the revocation of visas for 3,000 Chinese students and a decline in the number of Chinese students studying in the U.S. In contrast, China has actively promoted cultural and people-to-people exchanges with the U.S. and has welcomed American students to study in China. The author argues that the U.S. should rescind the executive order and ensure the safety and legal rights of Chinese students, while also facilitating American students studying in China. These efforts have the potential to enhance people-to-people interactions and advance China-U.S. relations. [Extracted from the article]
