Font Stuff
A couple of fun font pieces in Slate:
"My Favorite Font" (Famous Writers Reveal Their Fonts):
Richard Posner, senior lecturer in law, University of Chicago Law School; judge of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 7th Circuit; author, The Little Book of Plagiarism
I usually compose in Century Schoolbook. But I cannot for the life of me remember why I chose that! I used to compose in Baskerville, which I like a lot. Garamond is nice, too. And I composed two books (both on intelligence reform) in Verdana, which I also liked; but I no longer remember why I did that, either.
Plus
"The Helvetica Hegemony" (The Rise of Helvetica)
No word on which prominent writers use comic sans.
