Summary
| Description |
English: In 1825, Thomas Curson Hansard expressed amusement at the increasing use of eye-catchingly bold type for printing advertisements in Britain. Let's take a look at what he found absurd: blackletter type (I'm not sure why he didn't like this although the historical authenticity is probably rather doubtful and it's certainly very bold), slab serif type with a monoline structure and 'Italian' or reverse-contrast type. |
