Which kind are you? All of a sudden, typefaces are everyone's obsession. Just My Type will provide the information you need, whether you're outraged by Ikea's Verdanagate, curious about what easy Jet has in common with the Beach Boys, or wondering why it's OK to adore Comic Sans. Find out why a health worker in New Zealand was fired for using uppercase. Call Prince a Dingbat (that works on many levels) during the Tafkap years. Find the locations where films misrepresent historical eras and be wary of phony posters that pop up on eBay. Along the journey, Simon Garfield meets the individuals who created the typefaces and discovers why some fonts, like men, are native to Mars and others to Venus. Garfield is the font of all information, from record covers and high street typography to print found in our homes and workplaces.
