Type Pains

"That’s the problem with loving typography. It’s always a pleasure to discover a formally gorgeous, subtly expressive typeface while walking along a street or leafing through a magazine... But that joy is swiftly obliterated by the sight of a typographic howler. It’s like having a heightened sense of smell. You spend much more of your time wincing at noxious stinks, than reveling in delightful aromas."

Excellent article about how misuse and abuse of typography can be downright painful to quirky, picky, PITA graphic designers ;)

  1. Do you think there's an antihistamine for the allergy against bad type?
