Having spent most of my life researching and writing about the arts, and part of it making art, I have ended up in a place when I observe and even influence the somewhat big business of type. I also observe the joy that type business can give creative people, as well as the misconceptions, misgivings and prejudices that many type designers have about business people (and sometimes vice versa).
