I know, I know it's summertime. You still smell like last night's BBQ because you haven't showered and you're still recovering from finals week, the portfolio review, or both. But summer doesn't have to be all mindless internet roaming and bike riding (although it should include plenty of both if you ask me) use some of that free time to get your learn on! Know You Type is a series of blog posts on IDSGN which gives you a quick history of typefaces that are heavily used. So far, Verlag, DIN, and Futura have been profiled. It won't take long, I promise, and once you're done you can reward yourself with some left over BBQ and internetz.
