For the typography buffs out there, this video is for you

Share

For those of you out there who drool over new font releases or pick up ad flyers and wonder why the typography is so hideous, or if you barf at the sight of comic sans, this video is for you.

It has swear words, so put on your headphones if you are at work:

I’m guilty of using Arial at times and I’m guilty of obsessing over how sexy Helvetica is, but now any time I see Arial I’m going to think of a 15 year old goth girl who poops bats.

If you’ve enjoyed this video and have an affinity for typography, we’ve highlighted in the past how fonts enhance your marketing, why text is art and even outlined the top five web fonts to use.
