You know what would be cool? A project called Fonts No One Wants that catalogues the histories and importance of all these hardworking things that are on the sides of traditional typography: pixel fonts, Gorton and other routing fonts, segmented fonts, Computer Modern, maybe even Arial/Impact and “default” fonts.
Not sure if this is a YouTube series, a book, an interactive website, an actual physical museum exhibit…
