I love you guys but fonts ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ But in all fairness this is the FIRST show I didn’t care for You rock every other time
I guess this is the right link for Georgia?

And here’s the Helvetica movie:

I loved the talk! Very interesting.
If you want to get a sense of what type designers are trying to do for people with dyslexia, I can recommend the short video on this page.
REALLY enjoyed this podcast. I have always enjoyed typography (though I have a very superficial understanding of it!) As I result of this podcast, I have since watched the Helvetica movie (one of my favorite typefaces) and bought Ina’s book. Thanks for a great session!
This is the http://www.Lynda.com page for Ina’s course on typography: http://www.lynda.com/Design-Typography-tutorials/Foundations-Typography/106698-2.html?srchtrk=index%3a0linktypeid%3a2q%3atypographypage%3a1s%3arelevancesa%3atrueproducttypeid%3a2.
And I really enjoyed this show. I’ve changed up the fonts for an on-line course I’m teaching this semester and adjusted fonts on my writings, too!
Thanks David & Katie!
Thank you for this one, I thought this was one of the most interesting in your last fifty.
Does anyone remembers all the fonts that were recommended? I can recall Georgia, Myriad, Helvetica, Baskerville, and Cochin. However, I’m quite certain that I’m missing a few other. Can anyone round out the list? Thanks.
I skipped this show thinking it would be a bore and then some feedback made me decide to listen to it.
OMG! Fascinating and very helpful. I thought I knew enough about fonts. Learned lots more and am going to tackle my site – maybe more people will read it once I put a serif font on the blog portion?
Thanks as always.. you’re revolutionizing how I use my macs….
