[italic] FONTS! [italic]. We know 'em, and we love them. But do we know enough of 'em? Today we're joined by graphic designer, typographer and professor, Carl Shura, to discuss the design lurking behind every word you read. We chat about the history of typesetting, what makes a really bold font, the rockstars of the typeface world, and the elements that make typeface design so intricate. Plus, we learn some scandalous facts about our favourite fonts and discover a newfound respect for the much maligned Comic Sans.
Produced by Andrew Ivimey as part of The From Superheroes Network.
