Nora hates Times New Roman. She blogged about it awhile back, and lots of people chimed with in their take on favourite and despised fonts.
Virginal Postrel likes Times New Roman, but Nora forgives her. Virginia is a writer for The Atlantic Monthly Magazine and she's the author of The Substance of Style. Virginia wrote a great piece earlier this year about fonts and why they are so hot right now. She delves into the cultural and business trends that are driving our interest in typefaces.
Virginia appears on this week's episode of Spark.
