I love you Rachel. You are amazing! I am a designer of typefaces (seemingly unimportant) but I am a strong supporter of your courageous, intelligent reporting and commenting on the news. It gives me hope! Go Rachel!!

@tsmullaney Interesting that a emoji can be ambiguous. So can written language, but we have a longer continuous history of trying to interpret signs that represent speech.

@jfporchez Trajan type is everywhere now. As you know only too well, as the designer you have no control over the use — in this case everything from dog food labels to signage at the Met.
