I have recently been getting into watching the show Mad Men (by Megan's recommendation) and I have to admit–I'm addicted. But I'm also a nerd, or at least I thought so until now. Or at least this article makes me feel a little better about my shouting of typefaces as I recognize them in public. At least with Mad Men, I can do it in the comfort of my own home.
The New York Times recently published an article in the Arts section about mistakes in typography and I found myself comforted and grinning. It calls on the show Mad Men and just like all the reviews, gives praise to the set design, costumes, even the correlation between the characters and what drinks they prefer. I was happy to have proof to justify the situation of my lame excitement with type, but most importantly, happy to realize I am only scratching the surface. There are some really passionate individuals out there on the hunt for and why Mistakes in Typography Grate the Purists
