Yes, but think of the Library of Alexandria.

Yes to everything above but *also* the text of Wikipedia and all the lovely OSS do have intrinsic value, for the future.

Humans far removed from any current community or culture will be able to learn from this stuff, if it’s preserved well enough, kept available, etc

@vicgrinberg teach a person typography and they will suffer from seeing bad typography for life

Looking good @onpaperwings! Margo is such a lovely choice.

Today I am thrilled to announce the launch of my new company: Type Advisor.

I’ve had a unique and varied career trajectory, but the one constant for the past 20 years has been typography. For all sorts of reasons, I got bit by the type bug and haven’t gotten bored yet. Fonts are fun!
