Deleting Borsella's name from list of Hoefler & Co. key people
Hi, thanks for the edit. Can you consider why you see this as an "erroneous name"? She was listed as the company's CEO until the takeover. Blythwood (talk) 21:54, 19 January 2022 (UTC)

As a type aficionado, key people at a type foundry are its founders, partners, and type designers. Every company has a CEO, and the CEO in this case was not a type designer therefore was not "key" to the products produced. Hobnobber14 (talk) 21:59, 19 January 2022 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your interest in making the article better! I've looked it up; the infobox guidelines are that this parameter should be capped at four people; "chairman, chief executive officer, president, VP of design, etc." I think CEO is probably important enough to be included. (You could do a category for company people maybe or mention them in article body text, e.g. Joshua Darden, if you wanted.) After some thought I think it would be best to keep on the list Borsella, Frere-Jones and Clymer and Soskolne (who were listed as "senior" designers.) I'm glad to hear other people are interested in fonts; I'd be really glad to hear if you have other thoughts in mind for how the Wikipedia articles on these topics could be improved!

Fair enough. I'm new to editing Wikipedia, thanks for the tips! Have a good night. Hobnobber14 (talk) 22:18, 19 January 2022 (UTC)
