Typography, Helvetica, Art, The Ether, &c

{ Typocalypse by Lars Willem Veldkampf on flickr }

I don’t much care for Verdana.

For the same reason that people prefer to read books printed on actual paper, rather than on a teensy tiny screen. Kindling is for starting fires (books most definitely are not) and screen fonts are ugly.

Also, I very much like Typocalypse (especially Curlz MT: “I am the taste of puke in your mouth”… BAHAHA) even if we don’t see eye to eye on Helvetica.
