We have a million fonts, a million colors, and a million piles of shit leaving our fingers all day long. It’s just sad to me, because when you look at this [vintage ephemera], it’s just about communication. One font and a thing called hierarchy.

Too bad this quote uses the term “font” incorrectly. He should have said “typeface”.

I am not sure about the availability of a million fonts/typefaces but I am pretty sure there are 16.5 million colors that the human eye can distinguish.

@Steve VanHove,
Why be “pretty sure” when you can just look it up and discover you’re wrong?

How about this for a start? Take a look beyond calling things “shit” (in your talk) and name the real quality (good or bad) of the things you talk about.
