Nothing could be farther from typographic culture with its 
“place for everything and everything in its place.”

     Mrs. Warde has spent her life in the study of typography 
and she shows sure tact in her startled response to letters that 
are not printed by types but painted by light. It may be that 
the explosion that began with phonetic letters (the “dragon’s 
teeth” sowed by King Cadmus) will reverse into “implosion” 
under the impulse of the instant speed of electricity. The 
alphabet (and its extension into typography) made possible 
the spread of the power that is knowledge, and shattered the 
bonds of tribal man, thus exploding him into agglomeration of 
individuals. Electric writing and speed pour upon him, 
instantaneously and continuously, the concerns of all other 
men. He becomes tribal once more. The human family becomes 
one tribe again.
