A few things I’ve learned about typeface design

Sounded like an interesting article but honestly, it's late in the day here and I cannot make sense of the language in that article. Maybe I am stupid but to quote the chicken-farmer in Napoleon Dynamite: "I don't understand a word you just said".<p>Example sentence:<p>"Typography and typeface design are essentially founded on a four-way dialogue between the desire for identity and originality within each brief (“I want mine to be different, better, more beautiful”), the constraints of the type-making and type-setting technology, the characteristics of the rendering process (printing or illuminating), and the responses to similar conditions given by countless designers already, from centuries ago to this day."<p>Amazing visual stuff in the article though, but so academic and wordy... will give it another try tomorrow.
