Listening to this talk by Matthew Carter, a name formerly unknown to me, is a treasure to me! What a charming, interesting and intelligent person! Thank you so very much for allowing me the chance to become acquainted with him! Your video is a door leading me, into this design world. I only just saw the most exquisite Japanese style English typeface on the front of a magazine and was struggling with what or how to keep it...or Even if I should keep it. After listening to this talk, it has clarified why I did and should have fallen so in love with what I now see is really art.

While some may think this presenter is boring, due to his dry and dull approach, but there are some things to be learned from him. Firstly, we can learn how to use limitation (technical or otherwhise) to catalyze our creative minds to find solutions to problems. Secondly, it shows that in design (and possibly in other areas of life), old ideas applied in new ways are still valuble.

I looked hard for the right type face where distinguishing o from 0 and I fron l and 1 and i was easy. The only two fonts that met that reauirement were Consolas and Georgia. We know Consolas cant be used as a formal font and its an absolute necessasity for programmers. But Georgia- well thats a whole different story. I use Georgia - for everything I do. No ‘Sans serif’ fonts for me.

It bothers me when a presenter doesn't make the effort to memorize their talk. He even had a hard time reading parts of it, like he wrote it on the plane to TED. Plus he comes across as a bit pompous. Why didn't he just tell the engineers he was going to try to "solve" the big problem before he started, instead of wasting all that time making a very forgettable font?
