I do agree that you can achieve different (emotional) goals when you with Univers rather than Bodoni. My point is that the end user doesn't care if you use Arial vs. Univers or Times vs. Bodoni
So why do we bother at all, system fonts are cheap, available and technically pretty good.- Basically because sometimes being a prostitute isn't enough.********
- so I'm a prostitute who wants to cum every time, hoping that the client will to? even if he doesn't notice the seconde dildo up the ass?jimbojones
- ass?jimbojones
- hmm.. perhaps ;) - but it was really just a shit metaphor for describing the relationship between designer and client********
- it's a good metaphor. am I a good prostitute if I always think of me first?jimbojones
- no - well, not unless you have masochistic clients :)********
- but, I do think that typography is a area that you can get away with masturbating over********
- same goes for designers, no?jimbojones
- I mean being a bad prostitute.jimbojones
- yep - I think so; but maybe it's not so straightforward.. there are always different problems involved in a brief********
