It was at most very interesting to get a brief history of different fonts. A snapshot of why some choices may be better then others. And a blast from the past when digital type was just starting to be. Fonts a thing of the future, and Mac's shipping out with a variety of fonts to allow the everyman to be a designer. I never thought of the history of some fonts, and the fact that in the past there was only one type of typeface for everything.
In the end, my thoughts for fonts were purely gut. I know that this font doesn't go with another font because it just 'doesn't look right'. As for the how, or why I know that I never thought of. This is most interesting to me.
