Another Universal here. I actually love that typeface, very bauhaus. And the description fit, vaguely, just like any of these sorts of things. ---

**Archer Hairline** – I’m modern, and yet outwardly composed, with small outbreaks of emotions and elegance. Wow. Didn’t they nail me! Snort. Actually, I love this font and have written my numbers this way for years. I need to find a copy of the font. I’ve never seen it before. It looks sort of Art Deco. ---

I’m another Universal. I actually rather like that font. Especially compared to some of the others (geez - _Courier_? What’s psychologist-speak for “I’m about to tell you you have no character at all” - sorry Lynn ;)) Anyway, the interesting thing was, I looked down the list of typefaces, and thought to myself “Baskerville Italic is nice. I wonder what personality type you have to be to be Baskerville Italic?” It turns out you have to be just like Universal, except the one question I was unsure about (progressive vs traditional) I should have answered the other way. So maybe there is something in it after all! ---

Fake accent, is my guess. I am Cooper Black Italic, too. I thought the test itself was a hoot. “Come on, come on!” [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-type-are-you/524340.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-type-are-you/524340.md?page=3)
