Status-Q

I came across an amazing article by Marcin Wichary at the weekend, about a font you’ve probably never heard of: Gorton. And that’s despite the fact that you probably encounter it very regularly.

The Hardest Working Font in Manhattan is a long web page, but even if you don’t read the whole thing, there’ll be plenty to catch your interest if you skip bits from time to time.  There are even some interactive demos.  But do read most of it, too.

It’s always good to be reminded, amidst so much of the online rubbish we see today, just how much brilliant work is also out there.
