For the uninformed like me, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Massimo_Vignelli https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Massimo_Vignelli says "Vignelli's designs were famous for following a minimal aesthetic and a narrow range of typefaces that Vignelli considered to be perfect in their genre, including Akzidenz-Grotesk, Bodoni, Helvetica, Garamond No. 3 and Century Expanded. ... "Out of thousands of typefaces, all we need are a few basic ones, and trash the rest.""
- daveslash 3y agoI'm not a font expert, but I do appreciate good typeface. I view typefaces like shoes - different types for different uses. I have my running shoes, my hiking boots, my beach shoes, my dress shoes, etc... I have my mono-spaced typefaces, my variable-width typefaces, my serif, and my sans serif.
