A love for type
What started with Sam's email link to a 'Valentines Day card for designers' soon sparked
a stream of 'typeface-banter' emails around the studio:
Sam: "Baby, you're my Univers. Meeting you was no Akzidenz. I can see that we've got a great Futura. We were Meta be together."
Grant: "Lets spend the rest of the Century together."
Sam: "I'm Aachen for you, baby."
Kate: "the Times I spend with you are the best times ever."
Richard: "I'll always love you, Bodoni if you love me back."
Grant: "I would if you could control your weight..."
Richard: "I couldn't Kern less about my weight."
Ed: "That's bold."
Natasha: "These messages are getting a little Heavy."
Sue: "To HELvetica with Valentines day..."
Put your thinking hats on
