Event Details

Forensic font geek Thomas Phinney discusses and shows some of the
cases of allegedly forged documents he’s been asked to investigate,
from a frontier mailbag label for The History Channel’s History
Detectives, to the NFL’s Pro Football Hall of Fame for the Dallas
Morning News, to the Bush presidency for The Washington Post.

Learn how errors with fonts, typography and output devices have ruined
what could otherwise have been perfectly good forgeries.

Bio:
