Are You A Type Junkie?

Wednesday, April 7th, 2010

Brown bag lunchesTake this quiz to see if you’re a type junkie:

1 Do you recognize the typeface for the opening credit sequence of a movie and then whisper it to your date, thinking (mistakenly) that you’ll impress him/her?

2 Speaking of movies, do you secretly theorize that Congress passed a law in 2002 mandating that Trajan must be used on three-fourths of all movie posters (and Bank Gothic on the remaining one-fourth)?

3 Do you think it’s a travesty that Copperplate Gothic is the typeface on the front of Seattle’s modern, state-of-the-art Qwest Field, home of the Seattle Seahawks?

4 When you make your children’s lunch in the morning, do you comp the type on their lunch bags?

5 Did you feel like it was Christmas/Hannukah/Holiday-of-your-choice when Emigre announced the release of Mr Eaves?

If you answered yes to all 5 of these questions, you’re a type junkie, just like me.
