  • Type fonts

    In response to a good question (http://www.cgauiwtalk.com/showthread.php?t=4804 )

    I've listed just a few sources about type that you may want to visit:

Gianbattista Bodoni (1740-1813), the most famous printer of his time, king of printers and printer of kings, admired by the European princes for the solemnity of his books and by his alter ego for the elegance of his typefaces, is a keyman in the historical renewal of the beautiful typography.

    Adobe Type fonts. Available from lots of sources. They have some good collections of fonts and in some cases you can install them on both your desktop and laptop. Here are 2 good collections that include some classic fonts.

    At first, writing for The New Yorker was very scary to me. I couldn't imagine anything that I would write in that typeface. ~David Sedaris
