Noble thoughts concerning typography.

Reading a discussion thread on a site called Typophile (investigating the provenance of a famous declaration by Fredric Goudy: “Anyone who would letterspace Blackletter would steal sheep”) I encountered this quote from the American typographer Beatrice Warde.
“People who love ideas must have a love of words, and that means, given a chance, they take a vivid interest in the clothes which words wear.”
Which I like.
