Call me an aesthete, but I like lots of fonts. I think they're beautiful, if you use them right. If I had the artistic talent, I could bang out a lovely graphic in an hour that it would have taken an artist using 1980 technology hours on end and several outside suppliers. As it is, I can produce a credible-looking newsletter that it would have taken a large staff to produce 15 years ago. I sent RR Donnelley several floppies from which they printed Wall Street.
Hell, why not go back to Linotype? Or why not hand-set type? Or maybe scribes?
