Does He Look Like a Bitch?

By Amy @amypop · On March 12, 2007

When I worked at my college magazine, I was utterly obsessed with fonts. Serif fonts, sans serif fonts, ransom note fonts, handwriting fonts. I knew everything we had in our arsenal and could tell you what font was best for which article. We layout folk would admire each other’s work, nodding when a good choice was made, “Oh, yes. That’s a good font. Nice, nice.” in this dreamy tone of voice. I was partial to serif fonts back then — your Garamonds, Book Antiquas, Georgias. I tended to slip in some Copperplate from time to time. Now, I find that I’m more drawn to sans serifs like Century Gothic, Eurostile, Skia.

However, I will always, always abhor Courier. Aside from scripts, there is no need for one to use Courier. And while my knowledge of the latest fonts is a bit lacking, I will always be a font geek at heart. Which is why this piece of animation made me ridiculously giddy:

Brilliant.

The Random

Yes, yes, Grease is by far the superior product. We’re not really going to argue with you on that one. But there is something so uplifting, something so toe-tappingly spectacular about a roomful of people way too old to be teenagers, playing teenagers, chasing each other around a classroom asking “Where does the pollen go?” that it can’t be ignored. -- Michelle
