For a while now I’ve been intending to reduce the amount of fonts I have and use the ones left better.

As a designer and developer eager to learn about type, I’ve been reading your blog since the “5 Steps To Better Typography”.

It still amazes me that so many designers out there have very little knowledge as regards type so, good job and keep up the good work!
