TypeCon2007: Letter Space

This is a sick aspect of my personality, but I will absolutely judge you based on your font usage. If I happen to peek over at your computer and you have so much as a widget displaying crappy typeography, I’m sorry, but we probably won’t work out. If Josh had decided to use Times New Roman on this little blog, I would not write for it — or would have at least pulled hard for some sort of compromise in our pre-nup. I know, it’s immature, ignorant, and maybe I should add this to the growing list of things I need therapy for, but if some part of you related to anything I just said, then I think you’ll be as excited as I am about TypeCon2007, the conference on typeography that will be taking place in Seattle this coming August. Early registration recently opened online, where you can also find an almost-complete list of speakers and workshops (both of which look dee-licious). This year’s conference will run from the 1st to the 5th at the Crowne Plaza (a hotel with a perfect downtown location), and promises to offer participants scores of typographic stimulation. I’m going to try hard to make it, so if you plan on going (and are comfortable with the rather heavy relationship I’m already in with Futura), drop me a line!
