Are you as much of a typography nut as I am? I have been ever since I was a kid.
I've been doing graphic design for many years so it is hard not to notice it. I try not to be a terrible snob about it. But really poor typeface choices make me die inside. Like the time Pakistan put its stencil upside down on a missile:https://twitter.com/wellerstein/status/721479372721532929 …

Honest question. What typeface choice would you suggest for garden-variety business documents right now? All the usual choices seem terrible right now.

I mean, it's all pretty idiosyncratic, but I am a fan of Caslon, Garamond, Jenson, that sort of thing for formal writing of all sorts. They send off a "I care about good writing" vibe to me.pic.twitter.com/RtcMIASsQw

Love Adobe Caslon. Also Adobe Garamond. But Adobe Caslon is my favorite these days.
