I want to know where he got ballpoint pens that write on vertical surfaces so well.

I'm amazed Brush Script is more efficient than a lot of basic serif fonts.

This is so PRETTY and DELIGHTFUL and I am so psyched. Thanks!

I never considered myself a font dork, but that link got me way too happy. That's so cool. Plus, it gives me another reason to hate Impact, which IMO is the most obnoxious frequently-used font.

I wonder what bet that guy lost . . .

It would be fun to put this up in a store and see many people follow the arrows to get a sample.

The book industry should have never moved away from screenplay-friendly Courier. This is why Hollywood makes more money.

I only want to write in this new font I found...'rage italic'.

It sounds angry.

This one was cool. Hear, hear on the Cooper font family. Oh, and Adobe Garamond works really well when type setting books; it's nice to see it economizes on ink too.

Funnily, Papyrus might have done well 'cause it has all those niches and holes in it.

Garamond? -- never! The guy shouldn't have gon...

2010-02-09T14:30:09.661-05:00

Garamond? -- never! The guy shouldn't have gone to all this trouble. I just print a complete ms out and see how much ink is left in the cartridge. :-)

I tell you, you can squeeze several fulls out of a cartridge with Courier! (that's probably why they tell us to use it)

2010-02-09T12:58:29.576-05:00

I don't care - I'm writing my entire query in LOLanguage so I have to use Impact.

2010-02-09T12:44:06.548-05:00

Impact is mince on most everything including Lolcat pictures. But good thing this guy did the test so we can be assured of this. I shall use Impact on work documents when I am angry and bitter at management.

I didn't even know they used Bic pens inside printers.

That guy has to have the mother of all hand cramps and one mean-looking blister.

2010-02-09T11:13:36.890-05:00

Yes! This is why all the cool lawyers use Garamond. (Of course, now that I'm not laywering, I have to use Georgia instead, because Garamond is fugly in italics. Courts usualy require attorneys to underline rather than italicize, so for that profession the concern is largely moot.)
