Typography

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

In the past year or two I’ve met a couple of people who only know of two or three fonts. They’re usually the old school fonts and come in one of these flavors:

Garamond

Helvetica

Times

And, if they’re being brave they’ll live with Arial or Verdana.

Uhh, I’m sure you have a point, but for the life of me I can’t figure out what it is.

Heh, sorry, my point is that these people can’t break out of the idea of using half a dozen fonts. It’s very unique but I know there are a lot of people like them because I see those fonts virtually everywhere.

I’ll have to explain it in more detail later.
