I am not a font geek, but that was an absolutely fascinating exposition of the history and usage of one font. I won’t be able to unsee its ubiquity from now on, I suspect.

Kerning and OCR.
I recently had to scan and OCR a printed article, for digitising. Reading it through I was perplexed by the phrase “…he nibbed them…”
Upon referring to the original, it was, of course “rubbed”.
It was perfectly readable in the original, but perhaps my OCR software has a preference for looser kerning standards.

Watched a season of “Two Thousand Acres of Sky”. The show I could take it or leave it, but the font I love for being completely bonkers.
