Enough already


I've always had a fascination with typography.

One of the things about type that's been troubling me of late, is the sheer number of fonts available.

Talk about spoiled for choice.

You have to wonder when it's going to come to an end.

Who's going to be the first person to put up their hand and say enough.

Last year somewhere in the region of 1,800 new commercial typefaces were released.

Why?

I bet hardly any of them ever get to see the light of day in publications.
