A witch is always a lady except when circumstances dictate otherwise.
I have to admit, I write every first draft in Comic Sans. I find it really easy to read, and it helps me pick out errors.

My favorite font might be Frutiger, but it's absent in most software I have to work with at the office, and so I tend to use Verdana or other sans serif fonts. I genuinely like Verdana more than Helvetica. Georgia, Verdana's counterpart, might be my fave serif font. I just really like fonts, even if I have no formal training with them. They're just fun!

If you love fonts and "just think they're neat," then Linus Boman on YouTube is a must-subscribe. He's delightful and extremely knowledgeable.

Restricting myself to some fun hits:

Yakuza's "Terrified" Scotch, Redesigned: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CIwYtqNy2ik

Design Crit: Business cards from American Psycho: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QKc54z5SsEs

Hyperlegible: an approach to accessible type design: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wjE5eHLICzc <-- I've actually used Atkinson Hyperlegible for months, as I have trouble reading certain fonts. Highly recommend it or OpenDyslexic for anyone with low vision, dyslexia, or focus issues.

Fonts-wise, I absolutely adore Atkinson Hyperlegible





It allows me to set my font size super small and really cram the data into my screen, and my only complaint is there isnt a monospace version :negative:

I too love Atkinson Hyperlegible, as I said earlier in the thread, I've been daily-driving it on my home PC, browsers, etc. Linus Boman and his team who made it have truly made an accessible font. The font has literally reduced headaches and eyestrain for me, and helps me read numbers more easily whereas no other fonts really can.
