Last night I was talking to Rich and he said “That was a nice post you made about Hatch, but I don’t know what you mean, fifteenth century French Renaissance types. Gutenberg didn’t build his press until 1439.”
And I was like “Whatever Rich, I know what I’m talking about, let me pull out A Short History of the Printed Word and prove you wrong.”
And he said “No! No! I don’t want to go there with you!”
Which was just as well, because by that point I had already flipped through the book I realized that the type I was talking about was from the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries and most of it falls in the Baroque period.
Rich, you are a sharp young man.
