In this article, the idea of "modern types" is discussed. The typefaces are not modern as in new and innovative. Its a relative title to the "old style" roman types. Reading the article i found myself smiling at how long it took to describe the Kepler font. John Berry describes it with almost a reverence for its design and ability as a font. He pointed out things I would never have seen, or thought of for that matter. For instance, the "full set of swash italics and simplified upper serifs on some letters." But Berry also speaks well when he says that the design should not impede the message of the author. It's sole function is legibility. I think it would be a challenge as a creative designer to sacrifice some creativity for functionality. Something to keep in mind for the final project.
