Font designs and the stories behind them. - RN By Design - 23 February 2011
With the options offered by computers, never before have so many people had access to so many choices of typeface when writing a document. Yet some fonts remain more popular than others.

We all have an opinion about fonts; we love or hate one or the other and most of us have a favourite we habitually use. But behind every typeface is the human story of its designer.

Hinting, font technology and screen rendering will be discussed. Now that modern devices are rendering very high resolutions is hinting no longer necessary?
