If You Were A Font (Typeface)... Which One Would You Be?
Edited on Sun Apr-04-04 11:26 AM by arwalden
I'd be "Comic Sans" or "Wingdings"... that kind of speaks for itself doesn't it?

Inconsistent to the point of apparent randomness, asymmetrical and often deliberately unreadable.

16. I'm a fan of the classic fonts.
I tend to favor some of the classic typefonts. Copperplate Gothic is one of my favorites simply because, in my opinion, it is readable as well as quite direct.
