Fond Thoughts About Fonts
Website/blog Open Culture has posted in interesting, brief piece about typeface fonts titled Fonts of Fame, from the point of view of writers. It turns out this is the 50th anniversary of the typeface Helvetica, which is prompting attention to the subject.
Open Culture provides a link to an informative slideshow about Helvetica, a survey of typefaces preferred by some leading authors and a particularly useful link to a site where you can find the typeface of your dreams.
Some writers may wonder, Why should I care about typefaces? Well, actually, it is important, especially if you ever intend to self-publish. Once you begin exploring the subject, you will find it, as a writer interesting in readability and style, to be fascinating. Today is a good day to further your education.
Becoming A Writer Seriously has posted before about fonts, providing a very important link to a site that succinctly provides the basics of understanding typography. Highly recommended.
