This one's going live on YouTube tonight. With the notorious anti-piracy font incident in April, it felt like a perfect chance to explore the topic further and one of the major controversies around the birth of digital type. I hope I haven't stepped on too many toes and kept things mostly even-handed while still engaging for a general audience!
