Apparently I’m Arial Black
August 17th, 2008
Some people are really into fonts, I am not one of these people. Fonts serve their purpose and I know a little about the history of some of the more prominent and well known fonts. I probably know a little more than your average person on the subject but am nowhere near font geek status.
This does not keep me up at night.
But it’s good that others do pay this kind of attention as we wouldn’t have such wonderful fonts available.
It should be of no surprise then that after taking the font quiz that I’m a fairly standard one - I agree with some of it but not all 
You Are Arial Black
- You are bold, over the top, and quite loud.You’ll stand up and stand up to get your point across.
- Subtlety isn’t really your thing. You sometimes come off as crass and abrasive.
- You’re not as passionate as people might think. You just enjoy overwhelming other people!

For some reason everyone I know is coming up Helvetica!
I don’t know what this says about the people I know!

Are you? Loud and over the top? That’s not how I imagined you at all!
I’m apparently Palatino (which I have NEVER even heard of!!!).
You consider yourself to be creative and artistic.
And you’d like everyone else to know it!
You take design and aesthetics seriously.
You like everything in your life to be unique and beautiful - but never gaudy!

Oh yeah I only just changed it the other day. It’s got a long way to go before it’s home but I really like it.

I’m also courier new. I wish I was Base Nine. I really like Base Nine (shame our house font at work is Avenir).
On a related note: if you ever wondered what typeface you truly like to here: http://www.identifont.com/identify.html and just answer the search questions with what you prefer to see in a typeface. Apparently, I like Eurocrat (it looks like an Optima rip, but since I like Optima).

I like mine:
You Are Andale Mono
You are a geek, pure and simple. You spend a lot of time online.
In fact, you probably love the internet more than anyone you know.
You are picky about design, mostly for readability’s sake.
You are the type most likely to be irritated by a bad font.
