nonionayHey Everyone.
A couple of people have expressed an interest in learning more about fonts and typography. I've been thinking about doing it for a while, but figured it wouldn't be interesting for most people. Well, I'm going to do it! I'll start out with the general history, then move on to discussing the anatomy of letters and layouts. Maybe I'll throw in some bios of type designers. Maybe I'll mix it up. I've got to write a few entries first offline o figure out what I'm doing.
Does anyone have anything in particular they want to learn, or is my audience made up of people like at Foolscap, who just wanted to see "passionate people talking about something they're passionate about"?

Date: 2008-10-19 12:52 am (UTC)Well, actually more like "I'm curious and interested, but don't know enough to actually make suggestions for where to start" - but I have a very large collection of fonts... ^_^
As per awriter's comment, history sounds like a good place to start, though...
