Our typefaces, ourselves
Anyone who knows me knows that I'm a bit of a nut with regards to typeface. It's a natural interest for one who enjoys both writing and design. Well, there is that documentary out about "Helvetica" and I was quite happy to learn I was not alone in my font-obsessions. You can learn more about it on the film's website.
Anyway, the Pony sent me an email link today for this article in Slate where authors discuss their favourite fonts. Courier is a clear favourite.

That is super awesome! And yeah that doc looks good. I'd been wanting to see it. Ah, typeface nerds. I'm surprised by all the Courier fans. Myself, I'm currently a devotee to the Courier NEW school of typefaces. What are you using? All this talk of Palatino (which I've never used) is making me curious about it though.
I used to write in Comic Sans--a lot. Sick, I know.

Would support Blatchford is encouraging you all to expand your font horizons beyond the native Microsoft options. You can upload others for your blog or even document process, but keep in mind they may not appear on other's computers. Here is a helpful site for deducing interesting found fonts.

What an absolutely fabulous blog! A veritable ray of sunshine in an otherwise dull and dreary evening here in London.
I think I am falling in love...with your font.
That robot card is pretty cool, actually. Very very cute.
why not more sex cards?
Doh. Thanks for spamming my comments with fake comments, ahem. :P
Now it looks like I'm a loser making comments on my own blog! OH THE SHAME!
I even tried deleting them--to no avail.
Heehee.
(OK so there are actually a few REAL comments under all the mumbo jumbo. Merci.)
I'd totally do Courier for free.
there was a small exhibit at MOMA all about Helevitca celebrating 50 years of service. It was very interesting, might be worth you checking out.
