I overused Trajan as a graphic designer in the early-mid 90’s…it was the surest way to hear my clients say “Oh, now THAT looks classy!” I tried to stop using it, but I couldn’t. So, I quit my design job and became a mom. Yep, I have two kids all because of the Trajan font.

About a year ago I realized that I have ongoing relationships with a font for a period of a few months. Then when the font choice is left up to me (and when no specific personality of font is called for), I use my favorite font on all of my client projects for that season. It’s like a twisted form of typeface nepotism. Unfortunately, due to overexposure, I fall out of love and move on to the next font.

I don’t think I’ve used Trajan in the last 10 years, though. Maybe when I start doing campaigns for film, I’ll need to blow the dust off of it.

Ha! I’m having an I-love-this-font-but-it’s-so-overused crisis with the Papyrus font. Can someone else PLEASE design another folksy/earthy font for people to exploit for a while?

I think I need to make peace with the fact that my work process is non-linear. It makes it very difficult to determine progress, but the final product always seems to arrive in time.

For those of you in Northern Cal, I recommend the Exploratorium in SF. It is a kid- and adult-friendly hands-on museum of science experiments. Recently I was inspired by their exhibits on SOUND, and wished I had the Addison Roadhouse there so we could ponder together. Here are the quick tempered clavier and tone memory.
