Sad typography observation
I know, I know, I really should get a life. But I saw this today and, well, that’s it, really. Thousands wouldn’t have.
Suddenly the work behind the newspaper comes to life. Late last night a layout person says, “Well, I’ll just copy this whole thing into there, and I’ll highlight the subheading, click Helvetica[*]…” But — oops! — they caught the first few letters of the article sentence, too. And off to press it goes. And a few hours later, a bloke sits in a coffee shop, opens the paper, and that slight slip of the hand makes itself known to him.
Sad, sad, sad, I know.
[*] Or is it Grotesque 215? Surely not Arial.
