I must be missing some sort of font gene that everyone else has. Because unless it's Wingdings, or something similarly stupid, I just don't notice them all that much--print OR digital. I see big/small, bold, italic and regular (and monspace) typeface, but that's about it. When people start talking ascenders/descenders, kerning pairs, serif, etc... my eyes just glaze over. Props to those who jump in and wallow around with them and wrassle 'em into something pretty that my eyes can slide right past, but I just don't get it. It's always been the words I'm in it for, not the ink.
