Pff! Persons… bah!
Attracted to character
I was a graphic designer department manager for many years. Every once in a while we’d get a job for which the customer wanted to see several typeface options. Invariably, we’d throw Payparus, Peignot, Trajan, Brushscript, etc. into the mix and then we’d bet on which font they’d choose.
Reddit comedy 🙄
I’m surprised and frankly a little disappointed nobody’s posted this already, but it looks like the typeface in the comic is probably Libre Baskerville. The italic “A” has half a serif clipped off.

I would show someone Muli font unironically, just like acting out this strip.
Literata, such a beauty
If a typeface doesn’t clarify between l,I,|,1 then it’s not my type
I’ll always be a fan of serif over sans serif fonts. I just find them a lot more elegant and pleasing to look at. Also, it’s much more common to see crappy sans serif fonts that make I and l look the same.
Hmm looks like Computer Modern, the classic Latex typeface. I particularly like the italics on that one. Since switching to Typst I’ve completely fallen for Libertinus Serif, though. Highly recommend it as a more modern Computer Modern replacement.
Is it just me, or isn’t the last panel just dropping the ball on the joke? Why not have her comment on the serifs or something, if the type joke has already been presented? Baffling

I was talking about my tech hobbies (home server, mechanical keyboards, etc) with a workplace colleague and she asked me “so what’s your favourite font”. Had to say “I don’t know, but I absolutely love that I’ve just been asked that question”.
Atkinson Hyperlegible! I don’t have a vision/reading impairment, but it’s faster and easier to read when taking notes or proofreading and doesn’t look ugly like a lot of dyslexia fonts.
I was just about to recommend it as well
Consolas.
I’m a big fan of monospace and I really like how none of the characters can be confused with any others.
It’s a decent looking font as well as very functional.
ooo i love monospaces. my current favorite font is Mom’s Typewriter
I’m a big fan of this myself:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inconsolata
Inconsolata is an open source version of Consola. I guess I’m using that when I’m not using a microsoft product.
Other ones that are neat with that are Atkynson Hyperlegible (base, mono and Next), Fira Code and Iosevka.
Hyperlegible is currently my system font.
Same! I use the Nerd Font variant.
Except for the terminal and the text editors, where I use FiraCode Nerd Font
I use Serious Shanns a monospaced Comic Sans
Fira code is okay but cascadia tickles my brain better. I swapped to jetbrain and it’s comfy.
I own my own font, it’s pretty sweet but it’s definitely not a daily driver.
I saw someone once scanned their own handwriting to make their own font. I always thought that was a really neat idea but never got around to copying them
That’s an option, there are/were a variety of tools available where you can fill out a form either printed, Photoshop document, or Illustrator document. I don’t remember what I used but I was able to open the format sheet with GIMP.
I’d have to answer the same too. Not because I don’t have a favorite font, but because “hack” is too edgy of a font-name.
Gohu font my beloved.
As long as l and I look different, I’m happy
As long as l and I look different, I’m happy
1 looking down its nose at those two
I and I always look different mon, super irie.
The l is taIIer than the I. lt Iooks good to me
☹️
Ome is slightly shorter for me :/
That’s three fonts.
In a trench coat?
Nerd!
But yeah, true.
This one’s got HUGE serifs.
I’m a kerning man, myself.
