New Alphabet, he says. But it’s a horrible font. If he had said Comic Sans, I’d have contemplated suicide. There are only four yes-no questions, so there can only be 16 different types of people. ---

Another Universal here. Disappointed that Lucida Sans Unicode Italic isn’t an option. ---

I’m another Baskerville Italic. I used to work as a graphic artist and that font family was one of my favorites - elegant and very readable. ---

Universal here. Seems like a decent enough font and the description was accurate to a point (though I attribute that more to chance than anything else.) I liked the guy’s accent. It made me want to lay down on a couch and tell him about my childhood. ---

I’m Courier. I’m modern, but not overtly modern. I think that fits me well. ---

I’m also Van Doesburg. Emotional, Assertive, Progressive, Disciplined. It’s sorta ugly, but not the worst of the fonts. I thought the guy was sort of creepy myself. It’s ominous listening to his chair creak when he rocks back and forth if you make him wait for an answer. Although I liked it when he stirred his tea with increasing vitriol. ---

> [@MoodIndigo1](#): > > Hah, I’m glad you exist, sister. > > Fifty-six and **Attack from the 3rd Dimension** : we’re already a support group, and people ENVY us for our forthrightness. Way to be forthright. We LIKE that quality around here. ---

Van Doesburg here, as well. It apparently expresses strength of form and firmness of purpose. And you’re brutally fair and believe in equality. So… I’m a commie? 🙂 ---
