Typography will always be a beautiful subject in my opinion.

Great article [Miloslav 🏳️‍🌈 🦋 Voloskov](https://hashnode.com/@mvoloskov).

While I was studying graphic arts at the university we had a couple of courses specialized only in typography. I have to admit they weren't my favorite courses but on the other hand, typeface is really important for designers/developers and we should pay more attention to it.

Your article was a good reminder.

Thanks! I'm just amazed of how typefaces evolve following the change of their native medium. It almost feels like what occurs in nature :)
