Just My Type: A Book About Fonts
Fonts aren't just letters—they're weapons, identity, and emotion. Simon Garfield's 'Just My Type' reveals how a simple typeface like Comic Sans sparked a global protest, how Helvetica became the uniform of corporations, and how Nazi Germany banned their own national font. From the tragic story of Doves type thrown into the Thames to the Verdana revolt against IKEA, this video uncovers the shocking history, politics, and psychology behind the fonts you see every day. Discover why your choice of font says more about you than you think.
