Such an amazing post!
The only concern I have is that it's very Western culture oriented. I'm sure written communication has been an important aspect all over the world.
Now I look forward to similar posts from other authors about other cultures: Chinese, Indian, Arabic etc.
Hi @innuendo! Thank you very much! It is indeed ‘Western orientated‘. If someone wants to talk about chinese, arabic or indian typography I'd love to see that as well! Great idea!
