This is a manifesto written by PostTypography.com, find it here (opens in new window).
The manifesto can be linked to a lot of the texts that we have read. It touches on The Crystal Goblet, representing thoughts similar to Keedy´s text and mentions quotes as “the medium is the message”; it brings up the revolution of the computer and by being a manifesto in it self—i guess you can also say that it links to First Things First, as it also (somehow) questions the role of the designer. Read it and see what connections you can find.
This Post Typographic Manifesto strongly critiques Warde´s Crystal Goblet—“We step on your crystal goblet of typography at the marriage of liberty and design.” Referring, i guess, to the way a glass is broken at a jewish wedding and a wish for deign to be free of rules, do:s and don’t:s and limited only to designers (democratic typography).
Some other interesting quotes (feel free to discuss them over this blog):
- “Typography is dead. You have killed it.”
- “If the letters used to construct your words are invisible, does not the message also go unnoticed and unheeded?” (Critiqes Wade)
- “Never forgetting the struggle of the Desktop Publishers and those who came before, we of the Post Typographic movement seek no less than the democratization of typography.”

PS. Read Andy´s post underneath, this is kind of the contradiction of that one. Talking about democratising design and not being limited to rules. (although Andy has a good point :] )

as you can se, it portraits a modernist view on typography
