Do you really know your fonts?

by jeff

As creative-types, we’re selecting fonts on a daily basis for our projects. After a few years you get to “know” the mood, feel and personality of fonts just as well as you know your own shirt size.

This is the first time we’ve seen common fonts personified – and it’s the coolest video we’ve seen in a long time. Kudos to College Humor TV, they did a great job.

How many of these fonts do you instantly recognize just by their persona alone?

My only objection… Comic Sans is not that cool, and I have a hard time seeing him beat on anyone, much less Ransom. And where was Papyrus? Probably locked in a broom closet somewhere (and rightly so).
