Type Snob

I'm not proud of this side of me, 

but I think I'm a type snob. 

If you print anything in Comic Sans 

or Papyrus, I can't take you seriously.

I can talk for hours about how I really enjoy 

the work of the Swiss type designers. 

And how Ikea's switch from Futura to Verdana

was a major turning point in the history of type. 

I've seen the documentary Helvetica.

Many times.

Personally, Century Gothic is my go-to font of choice 

for every day life. 

I hate how MLA format requires that 

I type everything in 12 pt Times New Roman. 

Who wants to live life that way? 

Certainly not me. 

I want the option to mix things up a little every

now and then. 

Elsie at A Beautiful Mess recently used an app that lets you 
turn your handwriting into a font. 
Which is the coolest idea to me because 
(not to brag or anything, but...) 
I'm told all the time that I have good penmanship.
