Yesterday I bid bon voyage to family who were embarking upon the next leg of their journey around the globe. And as the mighty ship shed its moorings and slid slowly off into the night my mind turned once again to typography.
And I couldn't help thinking "oh, I'm not sure that upper and lower case Gill Sans is quite the right choice for a vessel that size" and "with all the money it cost to build that thing, you'd have thought they could have paid a little more attention to the kerning".
Such is the life of a designer.
This post made me laugh out loud to myself. Considering we share the building, I can only wonder what they may have thought.

Yup, sometimes you just can't leave things alone, but then again it shows we are passionate.
