I read an interesting book about fonts a couple of years ago. It opened my eyes to see the letters that I had been taking for granted.
Just My Type: A Book About Fonts
It took me awhile to read the FiveThirtyEight article, and I still don't know any more than I did. :-D It seems unlikely that he will refrain from committing even more serious errors than he already has, though, so I would guess that it will happen eventually.
Thank you.
I've been interested in fonts/typefaces for years (I even created three of them) but I'm no expert.
Yes, the FiveThirtyEight article is long, and thorough. It does not come to any real conclusion, because there's not enough data to study impeachment statistically, and because, as you indicate, we don't know what Mr. Trump might do (or not do) in the future.
Which fonts/typefaces did you create?
One each based on the handwriting of our two daughters, and another one, Hex Nut.

Interesting! I can see why you named it Hex Nut. ;-)
Yes. It's not especially pretty, but it does have lots of hexagons.
