It’s gotten so I don’t even try to disguise my love of all things typographic. And yes, coming out of the font closet means I’m free of the secret shame I’d experience lusting over a particularly telling use of Futura, or a nifty graphic treatment of Garamond Condensed.
Now, College Humor has produced Font Fight – the hilarious, perfect-for Friday video that every font geek (and yes, I mean you ) will want to play over and over.
Click the image, watch the video, shoot Comic Sans out your nose...
After all, what fontophile would willingly miss the long-awaited meeting of Helvetica and Arial – the latter of which stole the former’s identity so many years ago? (The hairs on my neck are standing up.)
I can’t embed it, but it’s worth the short trip to the College Humor site, where you can embrace your inner font geek.
Keep writing, Tom Chandler.
I wander the sites late at night in search of yet another free font fix. I’ve even bought some and tried making my own. I just can’t seem to get enough. Guess, I’ve been “outed” on your site; I’m a fontophile. Thanks for pointing me to that funny video. LOL
Maybe we should write an e-book: Find Your Inner Font Geek or Release the Fontoholic Within.

“Serif Madness” or – if we were simply after the bucks – “The DaVinci Font.”

ahaha Great titles! We could do both of them! Let’s write the e-book in the Da Vinci font then everyone would have to print it out and read it in a mirror.

Maybe that’s the leather-bound edition.
