What's your favourite font?
If it can be read, it can be discussed here.

Re: What's your favourite font?You're right: this is why it's primarily used in schools on smartboards etc etc.(Original post by aliluvschoc)
I actually find Comic Sans the easiest to read
(apparently it was designed because some people find the spiky fonts difficult to read).

Re: What's your favourite font?I'm glad you approve! :P I think I came across it by chance in a text book but it doesn't seem to be in the OED or anything so I was quite worried about getting it for a long time. There's articles on wikipedia and the bbc about it though... so that's enough proof for me that it actually exists (Y)(Original post by llacerta)
I had never heard of 'eunoia' before, but it's now officially one of my favourite words! I also approve massively of the idea of getting it as a tattoo. -
Re: What's your favourite font?Now wouldn't it be brilliant if there was actually a font that went by that name as well? In fact, there probably is, given how many different fonts there are... It might be really ugly-looking, though.(Original post by wordjunkie)
That would be kinda cool but I want to get 'eunoia'- it's a word with greek origins. It roughly means 'beautiful thinking' but as i understand, it's also a pretty obscure term in psychology meaning 'well mind' or 'balanced mind'.

Oh god you're right haha, it's not really what I'm after :P -
Re: What's your favourite font?Oh dear, that really isn't the best-looking of fonts. Commiserations!(Original post by wordjunkie)

I don't like the look of it though, I think my favourite for every day work is Calibri. It's softer than Arial, Times New Roman and the rest.
I don't mind it in that case, but I hate seeing things intended for asdults in Comic Sans!

if you print it at large point sizes for classroom posters it looks less authoritarian than most others.
I tried calibri when I got office 2010 but i'm back to arial, seem to get more readability per point size... And i'm not keen on the calibri little g.
