I'm trying to be a font designer, but I wouldn't say that's my
profession (nobody's ever paid me for a font, though I'm hoping to
change that within the next few weeks). I guess I occasionally design
fonts, but I'm a computer programmer/researcher/unlicensed brain
mainly. I've used and designed text databases, I've done linguistics...
I'm also a pretty good cook and can fold my tongue into a W.
Labels are just that, and generally as helpful in understanding people
as the ones on their clothes (I think I'm wearing a Lands' End shirt;
does that change things?) Even most type-designers aren't
type-designers. There's a lot more to typography and typesetting than
drawing letters.
