San Serrife Island

>> 02 abril 2009

San Serriffe is a fictional island nation created for April Fools' Day, 1977, by staff members of Britain's Guardian newspaper. An elaborate description of the nation, using puns and plays on words relating to typography (such as "sans serif"), was reported as legitimate news, apparently fooling many readers who did not understand the joke and did not understand that there was a reason that the island was also known as Hoaxe. In more recent years knowledge of typography has spread through widespread use of computers, and so the jokes are much more likely to be spotted.


Vão umas fériazinhas nesta ilha?

ora bem, falta dizerem onde fica a ilha... acho que fiquei com vontade de apanhar o avião para a Bodoni Central! Já imaginei como seria a cartaz de WELCOME na entrada com aquelas serifas didone e com os contrastes dos pesos..... será regular ou bold? fica aqui a dúvida..............................

ah ah ah.. Feliz 1º de Abril...................
