Every morning, I gradually wake up to NPR. (Gradually because of the various slaps to the snooze button.)
This morning, there was a person, in my bedroom, talking about typography. And politics. And what the typography of the campaigns said about the campaigns.
I found myself agreeing in my sleep - Optima is sooooo 80's. Johnny Mac (their nickname, not mine,) is soooo 80's. Dated font. Dated man. Personally like the font, but - It says weddings and funerals to me. Personally like the man, but don't want him or his running mate "I' can be a big boy too!" running the country.
Gotham - clean, American. Beautiful font. Strong, simple. Love Gotham. Birthed by draftsmen, refined by typographers. Solid font - solid president? What does it say? what does it meeeeean?
It was at this point that I realized I wasn't sleeping, they this was an actual discussion. This rattled me enough that I only had two snoozes this morning.
Mr Dog didn't seem to mind.
