What is the aim or goal of your writing: The written language is the greatest gift the human race has ever received. I want to keep the language vital, growing and clear both in the written content and the way it is packaged through the printing processes. I want to reinforce the truism that the printed (or written) word is the best way to transmit information accurately and permanently, that we cannot rely on the fragmented messages that broadcast media provide. I want to preserve the visual beauty of the characters of the Latin alphabet--indeed of all alphabets, syllabaries and ideograms.
