Fonts!
I learned a lot from this section. I felt for
Johann Gensfleisch zum Gutenbergwhen when his investor sued him and he
got his equipment taken away before he could print him 42-line bible. I
learned a lot about fonts. I love fonts. I worked in a print shop for
three years but never knew the origins on "Baskerville Old Face" now I
know who it originated with. I never know how fonts originated until I
read these chapters. There is a lot of art behind different types of
fonts and printing. I have a real insight on how graphic design
started and how mass production came to be. Looking at this kind of
early print is actually really inspiring. I love seeing and
understanding all of the hard work that went into printing and design.
