oh HEEL yes. I've already talked about this list twice!!

Right off the bat, I have issues with A. Paul's "Ministry" making the list, but I haven't studied it all that closely.

Okay, off to go dork out somehwere else now.

sorry if I missed previous links on your site, G. technorati fails me once again.

I really like the idea of eccentric French font geniuses who live in Cambodia.

oh, non non. I mean talk, as in real-peron conversations while making shitty office coffee. I haven't even brought it up blog wise.

oh! talk-talk. people still do that?

The reasons Ministry made the list are not purely aesthetic, although it certainly is attractive. There are also technical reasons - rarely does an opentype pro face have so many ligatures and alternates that it can be used to effectively set truly calligraphic-looking type!

Exactly what I mean by saying I don't particularly love it at first glance (purely aesthetic and a personal opinion, I admit.) There are tons of typefaces that are technically astounding that don't do it for me. Different strokes, etc.

Did you read the New Yorker article a few weeks ago about the king of all font designers? I wish I could remember his name.

It seems like lots of people online are interested in typeface design. A few years ago, I made a font based on my own handwriting, and it turned out pretty well. The ex even used it on her business cards for a while.

Awesome!
