When I decided to set up this blog, I agonised over which fonts to use for the headings, blog posts etc. No, I really did. But why? Does the type of font you use say something about you as a person - does it affect how you gauge a business' credentials? How did different fonts come into use? I am fascinated about these aspects of language. If you are too, it may be worthwhile listening to the BBC Radio 4 programme, Book of the Week, which explores the history of the font and the people responsible for them via Simon Garfield's new book Just My Type.
You can listen to this programme - and others in the series - via BBC i-Player (follow the link above).
