i think you gotta be in the seven figgie range before you can get away with that without anyone calling you out on it but i've also never encountered it in the wild

maybe- that's the secret to getting that second comma

georgia is just a really good screen reading font

i think for six figgie energy you want an older pedigree than 90s microsoft

garamond or baskerville maybe

six figgie font is either something you bought off a website for hundreds of dollars because you don't use the prole fonts that come with the computer, or it's times new roman because rich people got no taste

garamond is for people who read. humanists, not stemlords.

i made my resume in garamond tho because i want to pretend my three terms of university history courses makes me an intellectual

oh i forgot to :actually:
the word you're looking for is typeface, op. a font is a combination of typeface (e.g. garamond), size (12 points), weight (bold, semi-bold) and style (narrow, italic, etc).

also the real fucktard font is this abomination - apparently you can embed almost anything in font files these days, and there's even multi-level embedding like GIF-in-SVG-in-OTF. apple apparently lets you embed PDF in font files for some nice recursive bullshit. windows doesn't do font rendering in a kernel driver anymore, does it?
