Do you think typography deserves in it self to be an artform?

Another over pretentious, egomanic putting down eveyone, figures.

Harwkin has skill but a piss attitude and a false sense of superiority, and he is just one of the few out here on this forum, it's people like this that destroy good forums, and repels beginners or new members from the community.

Hawken, if I have you wrong I'm sorry, but this is the vibe.

Typography is a means to an end and not an end in itself. You should read "The crystal goblet" by Beatrice Ward.

Nice, very elogant.
And as a matter of fact I loved that link, and what a great metaphore!

"When you listen to a song in a language you do not understand, part of your mind actually does fall asleep, leaving your quite separate aesthetic sensibilities to enjoy themselves unimpeded by your reasoning faculties."

That is very true, we can appricate it for the pure sound as opposed to the meaning, this is the feeling I often get when hearing some of my favorite Japaneses groups, part of the magic is that we don't undersand it, and we are left with our imagination to speculate it's meaning.

Lets all choose the glass goblet!

Thank you for that artical, very rare I find something like this.
