Dead History

 * Title:
 * Dead History
 * Evaluation:
 * This is a stub article so there is only a very brief lede. There could definitely be more detail and the second paragraph could be in its own section on the style of the typeface. The article also does not mention The Who, What, When, Where, and Why? of the creation of the typeface.

Rick Poynor

 * Title:
 * Rick Poynor
 * Evaluation:
 * This is another stub article so the lede is very brief and only one sentence long. The lists of his works and contributions seem to be pretty strong and accurate from what I've looked at so far. However, there are no photos to go along with this and show examples of his work and style.

Armin Hofmann

 * Title:
 * Armin Hofmann
 * Evaluation:
 * This is another article taken from the stub list. The lede seems pretty strong, not overly-detailed. However the lede is all that the article consists of. There are no other sections and there are no supplemental photos to exhibit Hofmann's work. There are also some adjectives within that almost give a biased sound to the article. For example, when the author types "enormously varied" instead of just "varied."

Ismar David

 * Title:
 * Ismar David
 * Evaluation:
 * This is a stub article so it's extremely short so far. It has a good start for a lede but could have more information considering how much there is out there. Much like all of the other articles I'm considering, there were no examples of his works.

John Gilroy (artist)

 * Title:
 * John Gilroy
 * Evaluation:
 * This is another stub article, so it's pretty short in comparison to other developed Wikipedia articles. The lede has a pretty strong start, but that is all that the article consists of. There are also no examples of his works anywhere within the article and there are no detailed sections.
