I picked up a National Post this morning only to realize that there is an article about TypeCon on the front page of the arts section. It has it’s assortment of font jokes, several quotes from Shelley Gruendler and Erik Spiekermann and I think it gave a pretty good impression of the conference.

Didn’t realize it was front page news... some prior discussion here - http://typophile.com/node/47621 and link to online version http://www.nationalpost.com/life/story.html?id=675149

Front of section — that’s great! I wonder if one of our Toronto friends would snag a copy or two of today’s Arts & Life section for me. It’d be great to have something for the SOTA archives.

If anyone is willing to send a copy, let me know.

I love that it seems to make reference to David Sudweeks - “high-waisted denim and plop haircuts.”

Can’t blame them; there’s a disproportionately high number of photos of him on Flickr tagged under typecon.
