It actually sounds like a pretty cool job! I'm wondering if it's the kind of job that you do alone and if people who work at it are loners. I want to know what's creepy about Gill?!<br /><br />This sounds like a pretty interesting book and it would expose me or anyone not in the field of creating fonts, to an area most of us probably won't ever know anything about otherwise.<br /><br />I love the Comic Sans font!

I had such difficulty with that one, and think I scared myself away from this one. It sounds like it could be sort of fun though, and I am glad that you ultimately liked it!

I take note when a publisher gives some information about the font that has been used to print a book. Thanks for information about Simon Garfield.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
