I admit it, I adore looking for just the right font for a project. Though it’s a delightful task I usually leave for evenings and weekends, knowing how easily it can chew up my time. Yesterday while searching for a commercial font or two to license for a project I’m working on, I came to the conclusion that I see definite specifics in the types of fonts I love. Just like my journals have narrow lined paper whenever possible, and I use .5mm lead in my pencil, and fine tipped pens (I so miss the cheap, yellow, fine tipped Bic ballpoint pens), I like exact, narrow and light fonts. I really don’t prefer serif over sans serif, but it’s about the weight and preciseness of it. I may stray now and again to heavy and bold fonts, but my heart belongs to the straight and narrow. Does that say something about me? Maybe. It at least screams, “My name is Janet and I’m a font geek.”
