This Pretty Much Sums It Up

Typography often goes unnoticed and I think that's a shame. One sits there for hours picking a font and then trying to craft that font by way of letter spacing, word spacing, leading, layout, and all that jazz and no one seems to care. It's just like poker--you only remember the bad beats (the bad typography) and never seem to dwell or notice big-pot victories (good typography). Anyways, this is a pretty cool poster that emphasizes that point. I, too, am guilty of this because all I do is try to notice the crappy crafting of type, however, whenever I do see something that is easily readable, I also remember to take the time to appreciate the kerning, leading, spacing, and all that goes into making a successful layout.
