I can’t figure this one out, it’s not the one that was used on the book, it’s an updated version with a different font

That A spells David Quay all right. What was the name of his fake Bodonis again?

unknown

Oops, nope, that’s not it. I guess I left some portion of my brain in France. :^/

Looks like Fashion Compressed (Alan Meeks)?

Yes! That’s the one I was thinking of! Nice Job, Nick. ;^P

Yves, what about deviding the ID Forum into more specialized ones (eg Sans, Serif, Script, and so on). I am absolutely no good at all with Scripts, so that would save me some time… ; )

I’ll talk to the powers that be and see what can be done.

Bert,

That would work for regular typophiles, but half the “mortals” don’t even know what serifs are. :)

unknown

I am dumbfounded. of course. Imagine people not knowing the difference between Sans and Serif etcetera… In my mind that’s like not knowing the difference between Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay…

But, wait… Lots of people don’t know that either…

Oh S•••… What’s the world coming to! This is too awful to contemplate.

Bert,

I know how you feel, I’ve had to explain to people what a script is.

I don’t drink wine, so you’d have to teach me about that. So what kind of wine do they make from raisins? ;)
