—Karl Marx, 1867
@Ffangohr I certainly hope that at least some people of the time thought those boring fonts with bad rhythms were as ugly as I do.
@Ffangohr (A cliché, I know.)
@vruba bot says the first edition was set in variant of Antiqua called breit Kopf Fraktur. That loosely translates to fat hat broken.
@vruba Can you imagine 4 volumes of Marx in this? You might have to walk that accreditation back. ;)
@Ffangohr Now I’m a libertarian.

@vruba I would like to use that bit about Marx’s type choices turning you into that in a design team / type presentation. Is that ok? #timeofconsent ;)
@Ffangohr Oh, sure.
@vruba Do you think his opinions of typefaces changes in the 16 years he spent writing “Das Kapital”?
