Typography and Poetry

I wonder how many typographers are closet poets. My last post presented a charming verse of doggerel by Berton Braley. Apparently he is not the only poet-typographer.

By the way, in a previous post when I wrote:

I would like to support small type foundries by buying their fonts. There are some brilliant type designers out there, and they should be rewarded. Unfortunately, since the main thing I want these fonts for is for web distributed PDFs, I can’t do that without violating licensing restrictions. And that’s not support.

one font that I had in mind was Hoefler & Frere-JonesMercury Text:

Mercury Text

Not that I am at all unhappy with the Mac native Hoefler Text.
