Recently, I posted an article about a fondness for fonts among authors, especially poets. As I commented at the time: “Many poets maintain favorites among the numerous choices of fonts. Indeed, I recall dinner debates among classmates in my graduate writing program about the merits of certain typefaces, as well as the attitude or grace contributed to the page when a slight projection of a serif adorns particular letters or an italicized word leans tastefully forward in a line. My friends and I would pull books from our shelves and compliment the arrangement of print in the poetry as presented by publishers who took pride in such seemingly minor details.” Consequently, I appreciate the humor contained in the above video, and I thought many of the writers or readers who visit here regularly might enjoy this imaginary confrontation of fonts as well.
