My first post on The Forkiverse!
I moved from another Mastodon server, but now I'm here.

I'm a tech guy, a husband, and a dad. I'm also passionate about art and typography. And podcasts, which is how I ended up here.

@clede welcome! curious, do you have a favorite font? (this was asked to PJ in the recent reddit AMA and I was shocked by his answer, times new roman, which is a totally normal font to like)

(edit to add: shocked because it’s an obvious answer and not because it’s weird to like it, i enjoy a serif!)

[clede@theforkiverse.com]

@quicksand No true favorite, because a good font for one scenario is not good for another.

However, I always love an opportunity to use Neutraface! My dad is a retired architect and this font reminds me of modern architecture.

@clede Welcome the #Forkiverse! 🥳 [grabs shoulder like an overbearing father from the 80s] Search Engine or Hard Fork? 🤨 🤨🤨

[clede@theforkiverse.com]

@OKdad Search Engine originally, but I've started listening to Hard Fork too!

[quicksand@theforkiverse.com]

@OKdad asking the important questions. either way glad you’re here @clede i haven’t even dabbled in hard fork yet!

[quicksand@theforkiverse.com]

@clede agreed on utility being important. there is a time and place for wingdings. heck, even comic sans.

thank you the sharing - what a lovely font. i bet your dad has lots of design opinions i’d value!

@clede @quicksand Ooh, that lowered crossbar feels very art deco.
