Robert Frost on sitting still

We dance round in a ring and suppose
But the Secret sits in the middle and knows
[Robert Frost, 1942]

A quote for the busy designer from a discussion over at the ATypI members mailing list. Recenlty there's been some very healthy discourse over Helvetica (of course) and Piet Zwart but that's only two out of many interesting (and sometimes very deep) typographic threads.

So for all those unsigned type-geeks out there, get yourself a membership and get something decent to read typographically speaking in your inbox. Sometimes the muse does indeed show herself when you take the time to just sit still for a few minutes. Right back to CSS, mark-up and kerning tables ;-)
