Every designer or achitect I've known has beautiful printing and it's a joy to read. It makes me respect them for being concise and well trained. This, of course, makes me re-think my statement that cursive must be taught in all our schools. If you can't write well in cursive, at least be skillful and legible in print. But let's not skip the mastery of at least one or the other.

My most skilled computer tech (fresh from the Navy) prints so well it looks like it was typed! His reports are the best in-house and he makes my job easy when I have to type those into a dBase for billing or other reports.

ps - font - City Blueprint rocks, BTW. It's also the name of a few terrific printing companies in the Bay Area near San Francisco, CA. Or at least they used to be there....not a lot of "blueprints" out there like there used to be in the 70-80s.
