Editing a Typeface

Aug 31, 2009 04:59pm Alan Houser Total Posts: 4	I probably just sinned when editing Helvetica. I added an external link to Helvetic-A-Day (my little photoblog). To think that my little site should be listed in the same category as perhaps the greatest typeface of all time is probably a little bold, but I guess this is how a site is built, right? Are there rules? Is a link to Wikipedia more appropriate? I live and breathe Helvetica, and I’m obviously obsessed. I feel like I’m waiting for the show to drop.

Some things get lost in text. lol… Actually, if I’m the dude, I totally picked up on your sarcasm. I also just chose to take it seriously. Sarcastic? What about Curlz? That makes some good sarcasm. Or mebbe that mark that looks like a lightning bolt on top of a dot.

I love typefaces. But they have different importance for different people and chastising anyone for having a different opinion is worthless to me.
