Impact on the Macintosh

Jobs famously credited this course for the revolutionary typography of the first Macintosh computer. In an era when personal computers were largely utilitarian, the Mac stood out not just for its graphical user interface but also for its beautiful typography.

Jobs' insistence on incorporating a wide range of fonts, including serif and sans-serif types with adjustable spacing, directly stemmed from his appreciation for calligraphy. This attention to detail in typography was unprecedented in personal computing and set a new standard for design elegance in technology.
