What’s the Big Fonting Deal? | Rahul Maheshwari | TEDxElproIntlSchool

In a very creative insightful talk, Mr. Maheshwari outlines the gravity of the humble font, and what it means for the means of communication for everybody. As a visual communicator, he says, “In this age, today, it is far more important to pay attention to fonts than it has ever been before.” He continues, “We are the biggest consumers of fonts.” It is fonts that help to get the message across. Se, he asks the non-negligible question, “What’s the big fonting deal?” At 25, while his friends were gaining steady jobs and getting married, he traded in everything for a one- way ticket to the US and found himself in beautiful Arizona, pursuing a Bachelor of Arts in Graphic Design for Print.
