At Pratt, students are required to take fairly extensive typography classes. A professor I had with a slight Napoleon complex refused to let his students use the word "font". Why? Apparently it is "wrong".
Now that I am constantly around art directors and designers, I realize that my professor was full of pretentious shit. (: The words typeface and font are interchangeable in the real world. Then again, I suppose art school is its own dimension.
What do you think? Typeface or font, or both?
unless you are an animation student, then you do your own thing come second year

ReplyDeleteMK, he thinks he is god...well I think so too. actually, instead tell your bosses "GOD told me that the word 'font' is wrong and should never be used again".
