Typographic Oddities
Typographic stories your parents never told you.
Join Museum President Frank Romano on Saturday, July 21st, for a fact-filled and fun-filled romp through the world of fonts and type. Learn why Gutenberg was not very bright, how Garamond tripped up a Facebook forger, and the strange tale of Baskerville’s peripatetic body. You will learn; you will laugh; you will have new respect for that long list of fonts that pops up on your computer.
Two sessions:
11- Noon
1 p.m. - 2 p.m.
Admission:
Members free; others $10
