The chosen quote
The quote I have chosen is by Stanley Morison, typographer, designer and historian of printing. It goes thus, "Type design moves at the pace of the most conservative reader. A good type-designer realizes that, for a new font to be successful, it has to be so good that only very few recognize its novelty."
