I just said that you're pretty. Even when you're covered in...engine grease, you're... No, especially, especially when you're covered in engine grease.

The Minearverse 6: Fiery Thread of Death

[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls, The Inside and Drive), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath. Oh, and help us get Terriers dvds!

when i die, please bake my ashes into a brick and use me to hit fascists.

Trust the Buffistas to enable a penchant for playing with fonts. My people!

I've gotta put in a shout out for Bookman Old Style, my new favourite. I was so damn excited that I was allowed to write my dissertation in something *other* than Times New Roman, which I hate with the fire of a thousand suns. And so began my love affair with Bookman.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

What's so great about that that you choose it over something that's more mature than alpha?

I am spoiled about fonts, because I have Pete, who will tweak a font until it's exactly what I want. With that said, I am terribly fond of Ogred Weary. [link]

Oooh, and Chocolate Box! [link]

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Oh, I *like* Chocolate Box!

"What would it take to get your daughter to stop tweeting about this?"

Chocolate Box! I have a new fav. It works on so many levels.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I don't like fonts that have no true lower-case.

I'm pretty sure that Chocolate Box is what Pete fiddled with to make the GCS font.

I want to make signs and storefronts and t-shirts and brochures with Chocolate Box. V. nice.

t edit Actually, I have to do a brochure for the nuns in June; maybe I should buy Chocolate Box for that. I think it would totally work for "Hi! We're the Ursulines!"

Chocolate Box looks like an excellent titling font. Very sturdy and authoritative.
