Interesting article on the importance of fonts

[JBusch260]

Good morning Signs101! I read an article over the weekend that I thought some of you might be interested in. A 14 year old kid found that fonts choices have much more importance than visual aesthetics. I was impressed! Article is here:

I hope your Monday is going well.

I also caught that on facebook? damn interesting however I have learned the govt is not one to save money. You can make suggestions all day long and they could care less. Pi$$ing away money is the MO of doing business. What this kid doesnt understand is that printer is somehow related to or is friends with someone in office and is sucking them dry lol

Interesting read though and damn clever being caught for a kid

I've seen this on a number of websites that picked up on it. Interesting to see for sure!

It's a good find and could be useful for people at home, but most businesses that print a lot use toner instead of ink. These cartridges are refilled and cost significantly less than the ink cartridges in the article.

Small wonder, he didn't get suspended.

On our service contracts, we pay by the click and it doesn't matter the ink coverage. Think I'll continue using the most effective font, rather than the thinnest..
