font haiku

2007-03-20 16:00:09.062221+01 by Dan Lyke 3 comments

Did you know that there's a feature length documentary on the Helvetica fonts? But what's really cool, is font haiku:

i shot the serif

left him there full of leading

yearning for kerning

And much more.

I dunno about Helvetica, but the History Channel could do one on Aldus, inventor of the Italic typeface and the pocket book, 400 years ago. Right after they finish the series on sex toys of the Huns.

My other favorite was:

I sure like your type

maybe on some page we can

spoon like ligatures

I'm glad that I'd set my mug down before reading that, or there'd be tea all over the keyboard.
