Who is behind the businesslike subtlety of Times New Roman, the cool detachment of Arial, or the maddening lightness of Comic Sans (and the movement to ban it)? Simon Garfield embarks on a mission to answer these questions and more, and reveal what may be the very best and worst fonts in the...

Písmena v jakékoli podobě provázejí člověka již po staletí, ale nepřišla k nám sama od sebe: někdo je vymyslel, nakreslil a v dřívějších dobách navíc ještě na ně odlil formu a vyrazil, aby jimi mohl tiskař pokrýt papír. Dnes si už neumíme představit svobodnější prostředí než rozbalovací menu s písmem v textovém editoru. Z každého fontu tryská historie, za každou kličkou nebo dříkem vykukuje...
