Just My Type


































Just My Type - Simon Garfield

Just a post on a book I'm reading, full of stories about fonts. It explains why we are still influenced by type choices made more than 500 years ago, and why the 'T' in the Beatles logo is longer than the other letters. It has a chapter on how Gotham helped ease Barack Obama into the Presidency, and it all begins with a cautionary tale, a story of what happens when a typeface gets out of control.
