  • I am not going to lie, pilo.me is by far the best font resource / website on the internet.  Sorry foundries, but until you lower your price on fonts, I'm not giving you a fucking dime. FREE THE TYPE!

  • I love her enthusiasm but does she ever blink?!

  • You're a graphic designer, know a lot about founts AND you're a nerdfighter? *GASP* It's like you're me, but not scared of the camera! Can't wait to check out your other videos =D

  • Karen....! You are a wonderful Refreshing Creature! 

  • @DJfreckletone Great enthusiasm, but doesn't blink. She's a female John Green!

  • I think it's weird that in some fonts, uppercase i and lowercase L are identical (such as the font that YouTube comments use). Not kidding. I (i) vs. l (L). The uppercase i in most fonts is crossed at the top and bottom. The lowercase L should be more or less a vertical line (can have some fancy strokes, but not much). What Is the font that YouTube comments use, anyway? And why would an uppercase i ever look identical to a lowercase L?

  • My best graphic design friend and I like to go to the movies and identify all the typefaces used.

  • I'm the exact same way with cars

  • Like how Avant Garde knockoffs fail at their Q's, but the real one actually has the Q ith that nice squiggle.

  • @jgraham35 Looks like bolded Arial?
