Fonts are well past 550 years old now, and they are everywhere you look. The international-bestselling, page-turning, non-fiction book by Simon Garfield called Just My Type, covers the history of fonts from the hand-written work of monks and scribes, to the Gutenberg Press, to the modern typefaces of the 21st century. Garfield's book discusses the worst fonts, the best fonts, the precise design of classic fonts like Didot, the paper jam style of Dirtyfax, and the font that is taking over the world--Helvetica.
