"Musical Type"  [Reflections On Book - 100 Ideas That Changed Graphic Design Stephen Heller and Veronique Vienne - #30 ]

Like multi-types of music now,
Its volume (soft or loud) allow
Typefaces to augment with sound
Some meaning to the folks around.

Crescendo of a megaphone
Type speaks, or screens – prosaic tome
Can jump to life, all levels too;
A war-chest fit for all to use.

From “Words in freedom”, poet’s way,
To “Rap typography” today,
Amazing what small words writ large
Can say – from “quiet”, “peace” to “CHARGE!”

Thanks Lord for this.
