“People aren’t writing anymore because it’s not necessary.....”

...which is why they like your fonts, Michael. Just one theory for the script font “fad”.

It is a good interview and I enjoyed reading it, but the statement above is pure lionization. Stop it! Nick is human, and you’re better off treating him like a mortal, not a god.

Don’t mind me!

Very nice to see a little more of and read a little more about Mr Shinn. Congrats!
BTW Nick is not human. He eats little Versal Eszetts for breakfast.

This coming from someone who wants to make a brown-nosing list about Typophile? ;^)

It is very nice, Nick. Congratulations.
