Shut out of the most popular sessions I ended up in up in one on movie poster typography. It's fascinating! #sxtrajan

Turns out there are not a lot of type nerds at #SXSW that found this hidden gem with Yves Peters #SXTrajan

Learning all about the Trajan font and what the speaker refers to as the #trajaneffect. Brilliant.
