🔠 The Hidden Power of Fonts - A Typographic Journey Through Time ✍️

From Arial to Comic Sans, typography shapes how we experience and interact with technology. Whether it's the apps we build, the emails we send, or the systems we design, every font choice carries meaning - and sometimes, surprising unintended consequences.

✅ How typography impacts UX, accessibility, and performance
✅ The Gutenberg Press, Linotype machines, and the WYSIWYG revolution
✅ Why Apple II changed digital type forever
✅ How pixel fonts are designed and why CSS typography can be so counterintuitive
✅ The bizarre story of why emails used to end with the letter J

If you’ve ever picked a font, struggled with CSS, or wondered why uppercase is called uppercase, this talk will change how you see the text around you. Watch now and dive into the weird and wonderful world of digital typography!
