Listed here are a number of frequently observed afflictions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Typophilia<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An excessive attachment to and fascination with the shape of letters, often to the exclusion of other interests and object choices. Typophiliacs usually die penniless and alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Typophobia<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The irrational dislike of letterforms, often marked by a preference for icons, dingbats, and &#8211; in fatal cases &#8211; bullets and daggers. The fears of the typophobe can often be quieted (but not cured) by steady doses of helvetica and times roman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Typochondria<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A persistent anxiety that one has selected the wrong typeface. This condition is often paired with okd (optical kerning disorder), the need to constantly adjust and readjust the spaces between letters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Typothermia<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The promiscuous refusal to make a lifelong commitment to a single typeface\u2014or even to five or six, as some doctors recommend. The typothermiac is constantly tempted to test drive \u201chot\u201d new fonts, often without a proper license.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Source: Thinking with Type, by Ellen Lupton<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Use a modular grid to arrange a text in as many ways as you can.
