Wide Can you trust someone whose photo and type are stretched? The only proportionally correct type here is the heading up top—though why it’s in quotation marks is anyone’s guess. We can forgive the missing ligature in Certified.

Talk to anyone who teaches type, typeface design, typography and even lettering, and you’ll find confirmation that contradictions in typographic literacy are on the rise. Students, young designers and even some older ones (without the rigor) are great at big ideas but lack the precision to effectively translate them into print or on screen. The problem is reminiscent of the 1980s, when some designers used ITC Garamond instead of cleaner cuts of the typeface. The ITC phototype version looked smushed and fatter than the other versions, which caused a huge brouhaha among the camps on aesthetic and commercial grounds.

Jonathan: Hey! Let me ask you as a font nerd: what font do you use for boring, mundane office documents? Somehow I doubt it's Calibri.

Me: I tend to default to ITC Garamond. It's professional with clean lines and stately serifs, but gentle. The serifs even have these cups to them, as though they were cradling tiny babies in their curves.

Jonathan: See, I love that you are the only living person who'd ever say that. Thanks for your help!
