John Boardley demonstrates his passion for type

Why does a guy from the United Kingdom move to Japan to write about letters cut from German potatoes (01/13 post)? To explain it, John Boardley, the voice of ilovetypepography.com, invokes the words of type designer Eric Spiekerman, "I can't explain it; I just like looking at type. I just get a total kick out of it. Other people look at bottles of wine or whatever...I just get kicks out of looking at type."

Boardley offers a refreshing look at typography, both serious subjects and the simple joys of form and expression.
