Typographical Orgasm
Since I’ve begun this blog, I keep wondering who the f*** would be interested in the constant spilling of topics only interesting for their author. Well, at least, I am, and that’s more than enough. Let’s say this blog’s fate is to become my scribbling pad to which I’ll refer when I need my notes…
I’ve just had a typographical orgasm. That’s something rather violent but really good: the reactions subsequently go from “Waaoowww!” to “How come I didn’t come across such an idea before?” That’s what has just happened to me as I was browsing through typographi.ca: my wanderings led me to Speak Up and the feeling overcame me immediately.
First contact: “Waaoowww!” Plain, whitespace is given back its proper rights, pictures don’t deface the whole lot but fit in there just perfectly, light textual contents – note for myself : 11px/18px in Georgia – easily readable and enjoyable thanks to the magnificent and well-thought layout – traditionnal 3-column layout. The typeface for the titling looks grand in small sizes: I wonder what this one is… Its caps version looks stylish for the title. And the fleurons (Is that the name?) are just lovely.
Conclusion, still for myself: keep learning, you little crap, you might get to something like that some day!
