If “poets are the unacknowledged legislators of the world” perhaps typographers are the unacknowledged engineers… Whether either of the latter statements are true is a matter of opinion/perspective. However, what is certainly true is that the very sentence you are reading now would literally be nothing without the font to carry it (or of course the typographer who designed it).

It is quite a thing to endeavor something so seldom acknowledged and so absolutely ubiquitous. Featured here is Daniel Schriër — he is such a person. Merci. 🖖
