1962
The Great Typeface Uprising

Advertising agencies began embracing modernist design principles in typography and layout.

Jed banned serif fonts in the office. When challenged, he installed Helvetica in the men's room. A junior copywriter revolted with Comic Sans. It nearly split the agency.

Mmm... did that actually happen?

Tell us about something that did:-)

Say "happy birthday" to Jed:-)
