Ah but fonts are so important to the 'look and feel' of any publication that has text (and possibly even to those that don't!). They are also important to the built environment - in Lisbon, Portugal where I now live, all the signage I see out and about is sans-serif, possibly the same font, and quite likely by the same handful of design agencies. I am genuinely feeling oppressed by sans-serif!! I long for serif, or indeed anything to indicate individuality and self expression (the graffiti is sometimes really good though).
