Description

Is it ‘tomayto’ or ‘tomahto’? And while we’re at it, is it a ‘font’ or is it a ‘typeface’? And does it really matter what we call it? Yes and no.In today’s episode, you’ll learn the difference between a font and a typeface to talk the talk in the design world. You’ll also be introduced to type slang of yesteryear that’s used almost exclusively today. Closets and chests of drawers are referenced throughout, so ultimately, this episode airs a whole lot of dirty laundry about type. I'm all about interesting projects with interesting people! Let's Connect on the web or via Instagram. :)

What is the world's ugliest colour? What does a sassy three-year-old have to say about the visible colour spectrum? Ready to have some fun? Let's talk paper scissors.
