Guilty Pleasures #6

Fonts.

I love fonts.

I love to name them, to pick them out, to quiz my friends, to pick and match them for slides and papers.

All around, the best.

I know I'm a nerd when I walk down the aisles of Target and say "Oh! I have that font, it's UNIVERSAL FRUITCAKE...or those dingbats are OIL CRISIS A," but I can't help it...the knowledge is there, why not share it?

I guess this begs the question: what's your favorite font?

My favorite font right now is either Arial (BOLD)-It's just always classy.

or China Town

or Gang of Three

or this other one that I forgot the name of

I guess that she was, as evidenced by the deletion of my comment. I like "cry kitty"

i am going to have to go with SF New Republic in the "new vogue", but long time classic is Futura. I love fonts... if there was a church called "Our Lady of Fonts", I would attend.
