somehow i'm not nearly as afraid of type design as i am of open source computer software. it isn't that surprising, i suppose. type design grows a little bit naturally out of my background as a technical writer and my secret otherlife as a wannabe designer. i already knew about serifs and roman faces, baselines and kerning and justification.
i've been reading Jan Tschichold and prowling the web for information on all the basics. counters, bowls, cross-strokes, terminals, descenders, hairlines--so much terminology, i'm never going to remember it all.
this may be the beginning of something. or it may be just another phase.either way, should be fun.
