i can't go to hell - i'm all out of vacation days. i watch space rocks and yell at computers for my day job. probably too old for any of this

 

i think i might be burned out on internet social. it's hard to keep doing it. it's hard to even maintain the amount of attention i'm already giving it

 

i am the cause of most of my own problems

 

furthermore, capitalism must be destroyed

There are two dirty secrets about typography that they don’t want you to know about.

  1. Fonts and typefaces are the same thing. If a type designer tells you otherwise, they are lying to you. If they tell you that fonts are distinguished by size and whatnot, they are mocking you, and you should not put up with that.

  2. All fonts are bad. There is literally no case where any font is a good choice. You may hear, for example, that a serif1 font is good for body text, while a sans-serif2 is good for a title or display, but as before, these are lies. (Typographers are, as a rule, pathological liars, and not to be trusted.) Every font is ill-suited to every purpose.


  1. From the French, meaning "bullshit."

  2. Again, French for "sans bullshit."

As someone who worked in book layout and design and still teaches classes about that:

I see no lies.
