The type specimen
Time to play is not just for kids, it’s also a reflection on the current state of typography, as well as a type specimen of Kermit – one of the first writable fonts directly available to a large audience because it’s part of Microsoft Office. In other words: how Kermit – which can help children to make reading easier – pushes the boundaries of typography, why Underware has been dreaming for decades of writable fonts, the misery of the Bold button, the appeal of informal letters, the Copernican Revolution, the introduction of the time dimension in a font, what’s in the air, and why fonts should have a play button.
