Best (and worst) of Typophile 2006

paul d hunt

Just a bit of fun really.

What were the best (or worst) threads/comments/wiki articles/battles/&c. in 2006?

Was there a thread that you found particularly insightful? Was there one that began interestingly, but you just simply ignored after it descended into flames? Was there one thread that made you split your seams with laughter at each succeeding comment? Was there a bit of information that somehow saved your hide? Was there one that was just simply too silly to spend time commenting on?

Let’s hear your thoughts!

Oh it’s all good. I always learn something. I particularly loved when someone from China posted a photo of their cat looking at a photo of my cat on screen. That has nothing to do with type but some of my favorite threads are the ones that get hijacked into silliness.

It’s the end of the year and I’m not gonna say anything nasty.

The critique forums are absolutely fabulous. I learn so much by seeing others’ work as it develops, and reading the comments that everyone here has about how to improve the typeface.

Best wishes for 2007!

I’ll think of some others later that helped me personally, but the thread of the year has to be the ’Froggy’ critique thread—and those that followed it.

Seeing Chris Lozos come into his own as a type designer has been really exciting, and his beautiful spirit has been a blessing to us all on Typophile.

Matthew Carter liked ’Now Sans’ better at TypeCon 2006, I think, but I’ll always have an affection for the Frog :)

I like it when people get hard core into the history of type, such as the Steile Futura debate.
