"Rather" interesting?
Dear me... we've had five hundred and fifty years since Gutenberg re-invented the concept of movable type (the Chinese invented it centuries earlier but then forgot about it, so Gutenberg's was a valid independent innovation).
In that time, many people have been drawn to the art of crafting letterforms in a consistent and beautiful way. Given the enormous effort required in those centuries when one had to carve each punch by hand and that typeface would become one's trademark, it is still astonishing to consider how rich was the seam of typography then created, on which we draw to this day.
Even within the lifetimes of our parents and grandparents, such works of beauty as Perpetua (the italic upper case R is to die for, if you ever get the chance to see it in print rather than on a screen) and Helvetica (about which a film has been made) have been created by great masters of this art.
And discovering a little of the history of this information technology (for that is what typography is) is "rather" interesting?
Tsk, tsk
(FWIW one of my favourite faces (they're faces, not fonts) is Caslon. If you've ever read any of Arthur Ransome's Swallows and Amazons novels then you will know it, for they are set in that font - 12pt, to be precise. Well, unless it's a cheap modern copy where it's been photo-reduced to cut down on paper costs by shrinking the page size.)That boy go raaaaaaa
