Comment on Text of Steve Jobs' Commencement Address at Stanford (June 12, 2005)

Comments

I was really moved the first time I heard him talk about his and Apple's commitment to beautiful typography, it was really evident in early projects. But lately (with the exception of Retina display) Apple has ignored great typography and made lots of n00b errors that aren't even sen on other mobile platforms. If Steve isn't keeping an eye on that sort of thing, who will after he's gone? In a company with such a strong focus on minimalist design, screwing around with something as essential as text has a very big effect on the visual bottom line.

Don't bring up marker felt don't bring up marker felt.

One of these days the Apple.com homepage will be in Comic Sans and the transformation will be complete.
