Super sized typo

Norbert Florendo

Just read my emailed Clicks newsletter from Monotype Imaging and spotted one of the most common misspellings in the type community.

Nice to know that “spell checker” still isn’t smarter than we are. ;->

I’m not seeing it.

Neither am I.

I see it…

It’s “Go!”, “go” is not spelled with an exclamation point, right? Right?

Frederic Goudy’s name is not spelled with a k after the c, despite what the newsletters says (right?).

Frederic Goudy’s name is not spelled with a k after the c, despite what the newsletters says (right?).

Right.

Super quiz, Norbert.
BTW, Is there an “is” missing?

Error 2: Monotype marketing did not invent the term “super family”.

Yes, I just checked. The master’s name seems to have been Frederic W. Goudy, not “Frederick” Goudy. Funny! Didn’t he even work for Monotype?
