Going to give this reading books thing another try

Love me some typography tales

I think the original Garamond pilcrow needs to be part of my next tattoo.

I was waiting for papyrus, and there it was, in "the worst fonts in the world"... Right where it should be

Great writing on one of the little things we take for granted.

Oh no! Dissent in the printing community!

Fascinating. Very up to date.

Just finished - great book! Inspired to buy a pack of Type Trumps now.

Enjoying the worst fonts in the world. Totally agree that Papyrus, Brush Script and the 2012 Olympic font are hideous!

I like this pangram: "Playing jazz vibe chords quickly excites my wife."

I'd never heard of the 'interrobang' before. Not surprising as it didn't catch on - "the Esperanto of fonts".

Mentions 'The ten commandments of typography' by Paul Felton. Reckon I'll get that next.

Finding out about monotype and linotype - fascinating!

Why do people hate Comic Sans?

Hoping to figure out why I simply cannot stand Times Roman.

Fascinated by font fashions...!

I agree with Ch. 12 - the WhatTheFont iPhone app is wildly inaccurate.

Thank you Jacque T. for teaching us the beauty of typography!

Fondly remembering Letraset!

The font used for Tyne and Wear Metro (Calvert) was created by Margaret Calvert who co-designed the UK's road signs!

I should be going to bed, but I want to read this instead.

I have to finish this. Sometime.

Detailed discussion of various fonts and biographical info about font designers & pioneers as well as insight into typography, the history of printing and design. Not nearly as dry as a design or typographical civilian might think, but a font nerd's dream!

Continuing my type education. #learnonthebus
