When Chip Kidd was asked about how he picks his typefaces he said that he tries to keep it “trendy”. “Personally, in terms of my typography, I think it’s pretty conservative and not very adventurous, because I worry about something looking trendy.” Chip then goes on to talk about how all of his books are hard cover. He must think about how it will look in a couple of years and not just the present.
