BBC - Radio 4 - Friday
From Arial to Wide Latin (11:00, Radio 4) is likely to be an entertaining look at the influence of typography on our lives, and how font choices send messages about what we are saying as well as the words do.

A key issue for designers and web designers, it is of general interest to HCI people because of the social impact that information presentation can have. Worth a listen, I reckon, if you're near a radio or an internet connection for half an hour tomorrow.

Comments:
Was really quite interesting actually. The interviewer being told he was a 'tahoma' person really threw him... he didn't know how to react.
