Just My Type is a highly enjoyable read, even if you don’t yet know the difference between serif and sans serif. I certainly knew little to nothing about the history of typefaces, what different types were designed for, and who their designers were. I also had no idea where the expression “mind your Ps & Qs” came from (the book’s explanation is that, back when individual letter press stamps were kept in drawers, it was easy to confuse the lower case tailed “p” and “q”), or that Steve Jobs is credited with introducing font choice for personal computers, or even how common knowledge about fonts has skyrocketed over the last few decades, which probably has a lot to do with the availability of font choices on computers. I’ve always been tempted to pretend that I know more about typography than I do because I like design and writing but, knowing that it’s a very geeky and vast subject. Before I picked up this book, I was vaguely aware of the Ban Comic Sans movement, and I knew that the Gutenberg was printed in a Gothic serif-as-all-heck font, but I didn’t know what it was. True type geeks may not be very engaged, but the book was not written for them: it’s for the intrigued but uninitiated. Who should read it.

It’s easy to make, but it’s not necessarily worth it in terms of time, price, and flavor. Note: If you want to save time, buy the applesauce. Serve the Mac & Cheese hot, covered in onion rings with a side of apple sauce. Strain through a sieve, and set aside to cool.

And I’ve never even stopped to ask its name.”), so I thought I’d honor this sturdy, hardworking Swiss font with some good, honest Swiss fare.

It isn’t the fanciest typeface around (a trait it shares with my Mac & Cheese), but it has been doing a hard job well for years, trying to single-handedly represent restaurants, movie posters, books, Microsoft Word (in the guise of Arial- see if you can tell the difference) without pissing anyone off. The Connection. A good section of Just My Type is devoted to how Helvetica took over the font world.
