‘…Berthold Wolpe gave us an impassioned plea that, just as the only proper and natural shape of an egg is egg-shape, so the only form of writing is italic; to want an alternative is like wanting square eggs.’ (Nicolete Gray, Summary report of the second working seminar on the teaching of letterforms, 4-10 july 1976 / Atypi / University of Reading)
