I hate typography!

Good typography should increase legibility and therefore largely go unnoticed allowing the reader to take in the information as easily as possible.

Having said that I love Wim Crouwel.

am now slightly addicted to tumblr

You just got another follower Tilover, nice blog. I don't really update mine that much, just a website I can send people to for my photography as I'm to lazy to get a real website :)

Typography is way better than Reprography.

Nice had a good look through. i love typography..there i said it :p

thanks! i have quite a few followers now - not bad since it's only a few days old - tumblr is so great as you just take a pic on the phone and email it to an address - no boring coding or admin

I love this comic sans monologue

How do people feel about framebuilders' names being in an awful font stretched about to fit on different frame tubes?
I often wonder, this being a forum with a fairly high 'designy' contingent. (I am not very 'designy')

I can't remember the example I've seen a few times but it's a font I had on our first family computer (Acorn A3000). And a few generic "brush script" type fonts on top tubes.

^this.
I love my Steve Goff, but boy, he could have made a bit more effort on his lettering.

agree. Brian Rourke got it bang on though

i like some of the older Carlton one think from the 60/70 nice blocky chunky font slightly squished but still good. cant find example :(

Not great, but you get the idea.

General L the one im thinking of was more blocky could be mid 70's...

Perfect example! (Sorry Martin). This is the exact font I meant.
