Fonts

I really am a geek of all trades.

I started on this particular path of geek a while ago, but it's gotten worse since I started doing some marketing jobs.

I... am a font geek.

Yes, I love fonts. I love going through pages of fonts to find the exact right one to use for my poster/logo/banner ad.

I discovered while making posters for a firefly showing that there are people out there who's hobby is figuring out what font is used for these things! (fyi, firefly uses Papyrus) It seems like a lot of fun, and the debate is pretty friendly for being on the internet.

There are a LOT of free fonts out there! They rank up there with photoshop brushes for toys for me to play with.

But yes, back to fonts. Since becoming a minor font geek, I have learned the horror that is comic sans. They even have a website dedicated to the ban of this font. Ok, it has it's place in some places, but posters are not it. With so many free fonts out there, there is no excuse for it.

Yes this post has nothing to do with girls. My blog, my rules :D
