Episode VII? But they haven't even done the Episodes I-III yet! I do hope they don't screw them up, though. The first 3 episodes (by which I mean Episodes IV-VI) had so much promise.

The funny thing is that this sort of mathematical and reductionist take on font "design" is precisely what modernism and then postmodernism did to other art forms — by stripping a tradition of its presupposed axioms, picking a certain point as a "first principle", establishing an alternative deriviation from it, and then calling that "art". I hope the typographers hold out, unlike what has become of fields such as sociology, post-tonal music, and continental philosophy.
