I’ve been knee-deep in writing Art of Digital Design II. That means wading through my library of typography books. Trying to pick out the essentials for a single lesson (when I usually teach an entire semester) is certainly a challenge.
In the midst of writing last night, I popped over to my friend Melissa Esplin’s blog and noticed that she had an awesome post on type. It’s very fun! She also references this post on type from Goodlookcookbook. Type-nerdiness! It warms my heart!
Here’s my addition to their lists—my personal favorites that I wish I saw more of!
Thank you! It’s good to get a list of good-looking fonts. And thank for pointing us in the direction of the blog article, I’ll have a good look through that later. Will consider it some ‘early homework’.
Looking forward to AoDD2!
I. Love. Fonts. Have you seen the Helvetica movie? I thought it was pretty interesting. 🙂
I love your additions to the list! I need univers!
I love your additions to the list! I need univers, badly!
I liked Mrs. Eaves and Taffy, but the other ones didn’t excite me. Maybe because I like serifs and handwritten-style print, but not cursive.
