It’s a good job they explained the joke.
Wasn’t there some theory about comics being improved by removing the final panel?
Definitely. I was going to post this:
Remove 4th panel.
No. I like the “ew”.
I also like expression of the person finding out what they’re talking about
The “ew” saved it.
you don’t need 2 either. 1 is the setup, 3 is the punchline.
The most beautiful font ever. Although, this Metropolis is pretty nice, too.
Love the lowercase, hate the uppercase. Look at what they did to my boy B.
I really love the numbers, though.
I’ve discovered that it’s a horrible screen font, though: far too spindly to be easily readable. I still use it, but I have to make it larger than usual and bold, and it’s still a little hard to make out sometimes.
Oh, what we sacrifice for aesthetics.
0 seems a bit too indistinguishable from O, but otherwise I’m also a big fan of the numbers.
I think the font heavily reuses glyphs. 0 probably literally is the same glyph as O. I’m positive 9 is just a rotated 6 (I guess that’s pretty common, although it’s really obvious in Poiret).
You might enjoy Futura, the ITC Avant Garde Gothic family, or Century Gothic…
I love Century Gothic and most of Futura, though I’m not sure how I feel about Futura’s lowercase j.
I’m not sure how I feel about Futura’s lowercase j
Gets the job done, with minimal effort.
What’re you looking at?? His gut?? He’s working on it!
I have the urge to drink martini and rewatch The Great Gatsby.
And Jeeves & Wooster, and Poirot.
Poirot is obviously the inspiration here, in style and name.
This has an art nouveau feeling.
I’d say Art Deco, Art Nouveau’s successor, but obviously there aren’t fine lines between them.
When I think Art Nouveau, I think wavy, curvy script; everything was just a little psychedelic in Art Nouveau.
1920’s, in any case.
Fira Sans ♥️
Text looks good, but man the Number hight looks cursed and kinda random.
they’re called lowercase numbers and they’re designed to look good in paragraph text. for example if you’re reading this comment, mentioning the year 1997 suddenly puts four full height characters as if I typed one word in all caps, while in lowercase numbers it would look more like if I typed the word iggy (1 is x height while 9 and 7 have descenders like g and y).
they’re not designed to be used in math or for longer number sequences. for that you have the full height (uppercase) numbers that most typeface should still have.
0123456789 in lowercase have the same heights as oizgjpbyfq - just as random as that word’s letter heights are. which is not random at all, you’re just not supposed to use it like that.
Oh that makes sense, thanks for the information. Still would not want to use something thats not universal.
idk what you mean by universal; this is a typographical choice. the only reason you see more uppercase numbers everywhere is because of typewriters and by extension computers. I don’t think people make a point of lining numbers up with cap height in handwriting.
But we are speaking about a Computer Font right now, idk what that has to do with handwriting and who cares about handwriting in 2024. With universal i mean that any kind of number should look god, no matter if its a Telefon Number, a Price or a Street Number.
we’re not speaking about a computer font, we’re speaking about typography in general. the reason I mentioned them is because the ubiquity was forced by restrictions. we used to type non-english letters without diacritics before different languages got support online. now we don’t have those restrictions either. what you said is not universal; there are different kinds for different uses. just like uppercase and lowercase letters.
Their shape is beautiful (from 3 to 9) but why were they not written on the same line?
lowercase numbers, check my comment above if you’re interested

I know a person who professionally does something with text. She made it her mission to format every single email in ComicSans, bold, italic, red, centered.
See that’s funny. My boss using comic sans light blue for emails explaining highly technical shit to non-technical users? Funny in theory, absolutely not in action.
that’s how you teach them to highlight and copy/paste text
I’m more of a sans serif kinda guy
Grotesque.
The subtle kerning of it, the tasteful thickness of it, my god it’s even got serifs.
I like Ubuntu Mono but I’ll admit it’s a bit flashy for a code font.
Baskerville
My favorite font foundry is https://indestructibletype.com. Beautiful typefaces, open source, and many different weights. The designer also has some good sex ed videos on his YouTube channel.
Universal Grotesk
This would totally be Brick from The Middle
ITC Avant Garde, so beautiful
…Isn’t Avant Garde a sans serif?
I don’t know, I just love how it looks
Yes, it’s grotesque.
Monaspace Krypton for coding. I’ll take no questions.
Any Inter fans? :(
Came across Junicode 2 recently, and wow, what a typeface!
Very nice! What is the difference btw small caps and petite capitals?
Nice find, thanks!
