There’s a quiz over at pbs.org that purports to determine what font you are. It’s a multiple-choice thing with really dumb answers to choose from. (In fact, I can’t think of a single instance in which my actual response was an option.) Nevertheless, according to PBS, I’m Helvetica.
Curious.
I’d better get a second opinion, I thought. So I checked with Buzzfeed, who promptly declared that I’m Times New Roman.
Worried that these results pointed to a latent bipolar disorder, I headed over to Pentagram. Their authority is unimpeachable; their judgment, therefore, could be nothing other than final.
The result? I am, it turns out…Baskerville Italic: “well-read, a little short-sighted, and tend to lean quietly but firmly towards the Right.” I can live with that.
