Examining unknowns

Today's productive new hobby: browsing around for info on fonts and their creators' bios. It's even rather fun to wonder about people who worked with typefaces, even if the net doesn't offer much exciting information about their lives. But there was Garamond (not as much about lesser knowns who altered his typefaces)...Baskerville led a rather interesting life & was friends with Ben Franklin...of course, there has to be someone with a rep, or rather, "reprehensible private life," like Gill of Gill Sans fame...a striking Scarlet Letterish image came from this entry about Bodoni... "On his chest, when examining his dead body they found the deep scar left by the bar of the printing press."
