Most typefaces all look the same to me... I think I'm typeface blind if there is such a thing. It's all just text to me...


One of the things that made me interested in fonts was many years ago when I looked up the difference between Arial and Helvetica, and ever since I did that I react every time I see Arial used in print or signage because some of the letters are really awful in comparison. The most obvious difference is probably the capital R which to me looks terrible in Arial.
