About this listen

Originally Anitra thought this typeface was designed by a woman, and because she is the only person authorized to speak about typefaces designed by a woman Anitra did the research for this episode. Sure, Jason is in touch with his feminine side, but not enough to be brave enough to speak (and he is too young and pretty to be canceled).

Turns out Anitra was almost completely wrong, this typeface was created by a bunch of women — maybe. Although kind of no one designed this typeface too? Anyway, it wasn’t what we expected, but Anitra claims she is still right about who designed it, but in an unexpected way, and Jason is not contesting this.

We are sorry it took so long for Season 2 to drop listeners, but get ready for more Type Pod. Now Anitra has figured out how to use Descript again there's more episodes coming!

Find the show notes and a transcript set in Akzidenz Grotesk at Typepod.org. And because we might finally be getting the hang of this self promotion thing, you can see pictures of our book Back to Font on there too! Which you can buy everywhere, including Amazon. Check out our intro episode where you can get a discount code to buy the book directly from Laurenceking.com if you are in the UK.

It's good to be back :)
