People get impatient—they want instant recognition and success, while the most interesting thing in type design is the fact that it works outside of the fashion cycles. type design combines specific design skills, but also knowledge of language and technology, which explains why it is not easy to master the discipline. many young people don’t realize that it is nearly impossible that their first typeface will be suitable for publishing. they will most likely lack skills, be too easily influenced by their favorite designs or designers, and haven’t yet developed a critical eye. their second, and third typeface will be better and so on – it is important to persevere.
