This makes me sad, and mad!



Did you guys see this on Design Observer? That show Quarterlife's site now has a "design channel" and, well, tell me if this line about fonts doesn't disturb you with it's blatant incorrectness:

Hi. My name is Tamar, and I’m a font addict. Seriously, I am. The funny thing, though, is that once upon a time, I thought ALL graphic designers, by definition, were as well . . . I know of numerous graphic designers who’s font arsenal consists mainly of Arial and Helvetica, Times New Roman and Garamond, and maybe a script and display font or two for fun. Anything else tends to be scary.

Um, on what planet is this freak a designer? In fact, is he/she really a designer at all? Forget about the quote—CHALK DUST?! Does that font exist outside of FREE-WARE?! Ugh.
