THE PAGE81 A need for every typeface
NO MATTER HOW BIZARRE or how extreme its forms, somehow, somewhere, there is a purpose for every typeface under the sun. The tricky part is knowing where and how to use a typeface for the very purpose that suits it. The vast universe of available typefaces can be daunting when searching for just the right style to advance the meaning of the text. Ideally, an appropriately designed typeface will do dual service as an image and to convey information. The best typographic designs advance the message on many levels. Some display faces are so specific that they almost demand a unique use, and to try to force them into doing and saying something that they were not meant to do is practically impossible.
