There's an essay from 1930 by writer and typography scholar Beatrice Warde called 'The Crystal Goblet', the thrust of which is that an effective typeface, or a font if you will, should never interfere with the content it's conveying.
I often think of this when I encounter Sky-Frame's glazing systems in high-end projects, as they celebrate – with their concealed frames – transparency and that continuity between inside and out that so many architects, from the Modernists onwards, have strived to deliver. Sky-Frame is, in effect, in the business of opening up interior volumes and creating supremely uninterrupted views. What you see is what you get.
