@letterror@typo.social @typographica@typo.social I’ve been to about half a dozen type conferences between 1998 and 2004, had the pleasure of meeting dozens of type designers, if not over a hundred, and I don’t recognize a single one of the people in charge at Monotype, nor can I find a single one of them who has ever drawn or even kerned a typeface.

@letterror@typo.social @typographica@typo.social @johnbutler@typo.social One of them has been to at least one type conference in the 2010s. But I won’t say which one!

@johnbutler@typo.social @letterror@typo.social @typographica@typo.social … but at least they found a General Counsel who had used a computer before! (Or how do you avoid licensing any fonts at all?)
