Times New Roman

The default, the best.


Garamond

ftw


^5


GARAMOND

Hells yeah.


I liked something called

space toaster, or electric space toaster when I was 15. Entirely unreadable.


Arial

Standard.


courier

courier new.


arial or tahoma

times new roman is so standard, i like to erm...rebel.


i reprinted all my CVs in tahoma

and i aint got a job in AGES.


Nah

Times New Roman is just so up itself. It's all like "Look at me! I have serifs! You could probably find me in some mansion in a 19th Century novel!" FUCK OFF.


And why "Roman", anyway?

What the fuck's Rome got to do with it? Times *New* Roman as well. What are they trying to say? That we live in new Roman times? That the Roman Empire's about to make a comeback? How about the British Empire? How about God Save The Fucking Queen Sans? Now *that's* a font I could get behind.


'Roman' because it comes from Roman carved letterforms

with serifs and varying stroke thickness. Like the stuff they carved latin into the sides of temples with.

Typography=<3


Georgia


Tahoma

or
Verdana
easy


^ Both of these.

I lean toward Tahoma though.


^this!


verdana

is the chuck norris of typefaces. no question about it.


Agreed

.


arial looks standard

word looks like essays i used to write at uni.

so: georgia.


LOL

times new roman.

not Word. besides, i used wordperfect, because it was the only thing i had, and then couldnt read anyone else's essay that got emailed to me, because they'd used word, and i had such an old version i couldnt open it. :(


Clarendon Black

The sexiest font in the univvvverse


Wow

How interesting. I wish I has noticed that.


German Bold Itallic (named after the obscure Kylie track

she once produced back in the late 90s... when I thought she actually had 'cool' factor going)...


punkassbitch

or psycho

none of this boring web page/type s*it you lot have posted!


Garamond these days

For a long while it was Trebuchet, though, and before that: Century Gothic. Before that 'Mondine'.


heh

keyboard plaque.


Words alone do not do it justice

The best font in the ENTIRE world...

lolic

sans


comic sans.

i like things that produce irrational hatred in people.


<3


Probably not relevant

But I worked for a while in a mental health unit, and one GP always used to write referral letters in Comic Sans font. Words like "risk of self-harm" do not belong in such a typeface.


Yeah, I've mentioned this before :D

I think they all do it - you know, in case the harshness of Arial or Times New Roman is enough to send you over the edge.


OCR A Extended

Makes it look like my words were written by a robot.

Got a soft spot for Bodoni MT and Sylfaen is very pretty :)

All my work stuff is Arial size 10, can't stand Times New Roman or Comic bloody Sans.


NATIVE

:)


.

1. Trade Gothic Bold Condensed
2. Aharoni
3. Futura

sans serif ftw


I can't stand...

..Times New Roman

Mrs Eaves is my favorite Serif font
(or Baskerville(which Mrs Eaves is a derivative of) .

Helvetica is my favorite Sans Serif
I do have a soft spot for good old Gil Sans too.

It's always good to have one of each.


...

Bank Gothic, and whatever the new Microsoft Office default is - much better than Times New Bullcrap. Serifs can kiss my black ass.


..

Courier New


Just the three

Calibri, Cambria and I've always had a soft spot for Franklin Gothic Medium.

The first two work well togther for bodies and titles respectively.


georgia

and palatino linotype.
i have something of an irrational hatred for courier.


Tahoma

Or Verdana.


I use century gothic a lot

usually I tend to favour serif fonts though.
