Italy’s Wandering Blind - Waiting for a bus to Cornuda in Treviso…

A man with a stick bumps into a group member, not seeing her at all, waiting and pacing back and forth. The bus arrives, and on instinct he boards without a fumble, as our 14 stumble and bumble.
This particular man cannot see the lions we pass, the walls we pass, or the river we pass. But he knows and sees them, as he holds the ideas and questions they contain.
Although this man cannot read what is printed on his ticket, he knows the paper in which he holds, contains the power to let him board. So does it matter then what is written on this ticket? Does type choice, leading, kerning, color, or size matter at all?
Typography is meant to not only be seen, but to be known, to be felt, to be expressive, to be held, to be feared, and to be praised. It holds the power to create war, create peace, to take and make lives. Typography shares knowledge through numerous worlds in time. It makes the marks of time known.
