When I first started learning about type and font families, I didn't understand why we couldn't just alter the fonts we wanted to fit how we wanted them to look. As I learned more about type and how each one has its own characteristics, technical sizing, angles, etc. I now understand why typographers freak out when you free transform type instead of adjusting its styles or switching it altogether. It just does not fit into the same character family when you alter what has already been created.Sheri Pratherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03131817123989602116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6137237384486518155.post-81154203015860155502011-04-18T13:01:50.498-07:002011-04-18T13:01:50.498-07:00Someday I think I would really like to see your bo...Someday I think I would really like to see your bookshelf!

Your animations definitely prove your point: you can tell that they are faux, especially with letters like "y" that are different in italic and skewed. Although I do love to tamper with my fonts, I would never consider faking a style that is already available... What you said is true. They look forced and they are harder to read because the flow and distance of the letters have been altered. Although most people might not notice at first, it become apparent that something is off when you see it used. I agree that the purity of the font should be maintained because many of them are so classic.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704577894667792832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6137237384486518155.post-74769436545225432872011-04-18T10:05:30.059-07:002011-04-18T10:05:30.059-07:00Wow, those GIFs are great!
