A thrilling, witty deep dive into the world of fonts-the designs that changed history, crashed systems, and shaped the way we think and vote.
Every letter has a past-and sometimes, a criminal record. Type Offenders uncovers the wild, surprising, and often disastrous stories behind the world's most powerful typefaces: the fonts that started lawsuits, changed elections, crashed systems, and even saved lives.From the misprinted ballots of Florida's 2000 election to billion-dollar software bugs caused by invisible characters, typography has never been as innocent as it looks. Type Offenders blends design history, politics, and technology into a sharp, fast-paced narrative that reveals how the shapes of our letters have quietly shaped the course of civilization.
