Do you mean, is such a distinction meaningful?
Basically yes - people have a vague idea there is a distinction, but
it seems like a mirage.
If you mean that
anything functional is not artistic, that is surely a nonsense.
And any font can be used in an artistic way, no? And if a
"fancy font" use used for artistic purposes than it has a use
and is practical.
Yes, so I don't think we can we tell apart a font of practical use
from fancy fonts used for artistic purposes.
I just wanted to find out if anyone figured differently :-)
