"Why should you care? Because everything you read, every sign, book and logo, is in a font."
no.... it's in a typeface. :^)
actually, the article is very cynical, but i like the above quote and i think it calls attention to the art.
i didn't see anything offensive, but i'm use to the feeling of knowing i'm a nerd.

If that journalist for the NYT spent her time refining her craft, instead of mocking ours, maybe i wouldn't have found the little "no-no's" you're taught in Intro to Journalism all throughout her article.
