Please feel free to say more. It can be a little unsettling to get up on the board for the first time, but you'll soon have the feel of it.

Re:(for a limited time only?) Does a typeface really matter?

Julie Strawson seems to think so, but in the faces of such superior femenine intelect what could she really know?
She weighed in on the matter and here's what she had to say

The typeface matters because of its power to create a sense of recognition and trust, she argues: "Everyone recognises the BBC just from three characters in Gill Sans. It's an icon. If you wrote BBC in a flowery font people wouldn't recognise it."
