Does this describe you?

I found this quote today in an article in InDesign magazine. The quote is from Thomas Phinney, who worked for Adobe Type for many years, now with Extensis (think Suitcase, Font Reserve, & Fusion):

“If you go to a restaurant with a bunch of type designers and typographers, you sit down to dinner at a restaurant and start looking at the menu. Sooner or later you’ll have to insist that they read what’s on the darn menu, because otherwise you may never get around to ordering! We typographers can analyze and critique the typography and typeface selection of the menu for a really long time.”

I can really relate to that—how about you?

When my wife and I watch a movie, it always starts with a discussion of the fonts used in the credits.

By the way, I found Tom's quote in a good article on how to choose an appropriate font. If you are still having trouble with that, you should read the article.
