Edit: I am a hyper cringe. No surprises there. Original, undiluted cringe: Unless it is for a science fair board in the 3rd grade and your father expects you to figure out what is "wrong" with your title, by yourself, with little to no feedback. Is it the spelling? No. The grammer? No. I made the size right, is the spacing off? No. Is it supposed to be bold? No. Does it need to be better worded? No. Is it just a bad title? No. It was the fucking comic sans. Except replace the "No"s with silence, and him expecting me to figure it out myself... with no feedback, at least not until I got the right answer.

@@adamofblastworks1517 Oh man....is it bad that i laughed and sided with your dad?......as a web designer, I can see myself doing that to my future kids

@@upasanapaul I was in 3rd grade... I'll also point out that you should be careful with giving no reaction or response and letting them figure out EVERYTHING by themselves. His intentions were good, but his implementation backfired, and now I'm very indecisive (not that I don't care, but unless one option is clearly and greatly superior to the other one, I have a tendency to start hyper analyzing, get stuck on details, and never making a decision), and second guess myself a lot of the time. I can't say for certain that he had anything to do with it, but I'd be surprised if he didn't. This is just one example instance that I can remember.

And when it is a seemingly indecipherable scrawl, then it is for my pharmacist to read.

Even kids know Comic Sans isn't worth reading; believe me, I work with them, and they make fun of it, lol. But seriously, why are we trying to keep our children from expanding their knowledge? I don't want my kids thinking they're not smart enough to read things just because it's not pandering to them.

:D you got me in the first half, but very true indeed. For what it is it is very well done. Nice uniform letters, good standard kerning, way better than some other big typefaces. I am going to steal that quote! :D

Yes. Welcome to the club.

Esthetically, I have nothing against Arial or other sans serif fonts, but there are two kinds of problems in terms of readability: first, some characters are IDENTICAL; and second, some character combinations are distinguished by VERY small gaps. Examples: upper case “I” and lower case “L” are identical, lower case “I” differs only in the gap between the dot and the body of the letter, and the digit 1 has a very small serif at the top. With all of these characters being so narrow, a sequence of three or more of them can be difficult to read. Lower case “M” is distinguished from the combination of lower case “R” and “N” ONLY by a TINY gap. Upper case “O” and digit “0” are also difficult to distinguish, though not identical. When I receive a password or other code in an email or on a web site, and it is in Arial, I copy and paste it into a Notepad window, where the default font is Courier New, a MONOTYPE (constant width) SERIF font, in order to be sure I can enter EVERY character correctly. But reading a BOOK, no problem with any font.

We’ll sociopath or not, a rather interesting thing about fonts is that I can read your sentence and say you use an android phone.

Arial is my preferred font - I don't care if this makes me a sociopath (which I suppose is something a sociopath would say lol)

At work, I use Arial for emails and Times Roman for things printed on paper.

[goes to look] Quite pretty, tho I wonder if it might be tiring to read in long stretches. -- I recently did not buy a hardback because the very elegant font was too difficult to read more than a page or so at a time. :(

I've read lots of books with Rosarivo. Great choice :)

I looked it up; very nice. Not on my computer at work, where I use CAVOLINI for casual notes.

It’s an interesting font, I see what you mean about it’s sculptured look. It’s a little harsh on my eyes for my personal tastes though; the flares & flag-looking serifs at the tops of tall lowercase letters feel like they’re messing with my ADD somehow. I can see it’s appeal though 😊

Right? feeling surprised and old at the same time :-)

Maybe I'm the odd one out, but I've loved various fonts since I was a little kid typing on an old, metal typewriter. The world of computers opened me up to a whole new world of fonts that, to this day still has me questioning which font is best for each individual project. Then there's the history of where they come from and why they were created; which is very hard information to find, in many cases. And, yes, I also used Courier in the 90's. lol

You don't need to feel smart. You just need to be happy to know that there are more things to learn about. Smart people took new information, analogize that information to apply on other things they manage like intrapersonality or just daily life. People who know much are not smart, they are dilligent. Smart people don't know much, they know how many things they have not learnt and stay open minded. Quote paraphrased from the Dunning-Kruger effect report.

as someone who studies typography in my spare time (not at uni, at least not yet), i think you’re missing the premise here. It’s not about making something that cures cancer - that’d help, sure, but it’s a different thing. It’s very easy to underestimate something that we all take for granted - but architects will notice small details in buildings, engineers will notice good engineering, and typographers - they’ll notice details in type. Their job is hard and intricate, and not respected enough by far. The books and signs and all documents, they read well when they’re typographically treated, and as much as you might want something groundbreaking - there you go. A typographically good road sign will decrease accidents caused by not following it, a typographically good document will make it easier for students to get higher grades, and a typographically good book will read well, make more readers finish it, and in turn sell more copies - we rarely recommend books we haven’t finished. It’s a small thing, but it’s as detailed as many other mediums in art - such as colour. You’re free to realise that the most groundbreaking things in design and life in general often are those which we take for granted.

Also, "Why watching paint dry is secretly beautiful".

@@nuloom I'm currently a machinist, and before that, I actually got paid to watch paint dry 😆 (lab technician/QC at a paint factory). I also love art. Worked with my family for a few years, we did a variety of work, and I got to design things like signs cut out of metal (then go and cut them with a waterjet that used water and garnet abrasive to cut through almost anything at up to 60,000 PSI). Fonts were very important, and there's the added fun of incorporating some kind of tab into the design to hold the centers of letters like "a,e,p..." (he said what the term was in the video, but I can't remember) on the piece (if this is hard to visualize, think of a stencil and how there are little lines added in to some letters, breaking them up into two or more segments). I even had a customer ask me if I could replicate someone's cursive handwriting and cut an entire saying out of brass plate. Not engrave, where you can go different depths for detail, but cut out. Not enough little tabs in some letters, they fall into the tank, too many, and it's illegible. I scanned the writing sample they gave me, converted the scan into a vector image, and It took me hours of editing over the course of three days, but it turned out pretty sweet

It honestly melted my brain when I heard it

try using jokerman instead of comic sans if you wanna show even less respect

Few of us old enough to remember the Amiga.

Yes, there are many other issues with the images in this video that are inaccurate. I don't know that Jobs or Apple invented many fonts, they just used fonts that existed. I also have a problem with fake HTML and javascript on the Mac 512.

Ah yes the Amiga 500- and its fonts Garnet, Topaz. A shame it did not go into the difference between, Postscript, Truetype, Bitmaped, Stroked. Many years ago we had at work a HP Laserjet 2, it cost ?? alsmot as much as my 5 year old car at the time ( as did NEC 286 Powermate PC's in mid 80's ) Anyway, it had 4 fonts, and you had to pay $$$ for separate font cartridges you installed in the machine, they were very pricey, each one would have been over $1,000 dollar to Adobe, the 3 in 1 or 5 in 1 cartridge was almost $1500 - good value for the day There is some good reading / youtube on the progress of paid fonts ( copywrite / trademark ) disappearing to "font wars" and every one cashing in Regards George

@@georgemaragos2378 Then in AmigaOS 2.0 it got Compugraphic fonts -- the competitor to Truetype that lost the font war since Microsoft dictated to the world at that point.

@@nsputnik You don't know. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Apple_typefaces . Now you know. The point, though, was that Jobs/Apple introduced "real" fonts in computers and WYSIWIG, i.e. printing in the actual typeface instead of using the printer's internal font. Old Apple was all about style. Just like today's Apple but with, you know, */actual/* style.
