Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

What do you think would be a good font for the word "yacht?"
I'm thinking maybe Frutiger light?
And I got some cuddles and kisses from the local girl. I have been missing those kisses for YEARS. <3
Sigh I just love questions I don't like talking about.
My break from dating in general and how long it has been has made me really sad because of all the rather stupid and painful memories it brings back

Oh shit, that is good!
@Echo: Man, I work at a graphic arts lab!
edit* On third thought, that might be a good font for drink specials, time, etc.
You're amateur, man!
I think the samples he uses are a little coarse but I like the overall sound, it gets kind of loud at times so don't blow out your ears. It's very weird, but I thought it was good.
EDIT: You want a played out font? Go for bauhaus 93, ahahaha.

Tell him too keep at it though, because it does show great promise!
Klingon looks totally serious in Comic Sans!
I'm not exactly sure what his production was, and though he's a friend of mine I won't proselytize people to his work - I was just sharing it to get opinions, really - in the same way that he sent it to me saying that he thought I "might like it".
No worries, sir. To be honest, parts of it reminded me of old game BGMs and I think that in and of itself made me enjoy the first half of it especially. But yeah, he's doing a whole album of stuff, this was a "small sample" he gave out.
I've been recently getting into Ratatat, which isn't really house like my usual preferences and is more straight electronica but it has a distinct rock sound to it.
Philosopher God-King and Emperor were pretty high though.
It's true, listening to Kennedy and then Wildcat and then a few other songs I was like, "Wait, did I just listen to one song?" but if I can add one song to my faves playlist I find it worth it to tell people that I enjoyed X or Y band. I don't have several hours of DJing to fill, haha. Just a soundtrack to run while I play games and bother people in [chat].
Somebody tried to get me into Aphex Twins, I found them a little too 'hard' for my tastes.
So much accumulated junk to throw away.
Podly you are like friggin' Columbus over here. I'm pretty sure this is the first time ever that somebody has claimed a font was "played out," let alone "played out in NYC." This is positively historic. It's like being around for Obama's victory speech all over again!
I'm going to tell my kids about this, some day.
It's just a college gig. I can do my homework while I maintain the computers and do updates and shit. (I don't work in the actual publication. I'm the IT part.)
Everything looks like it's written backwards.
Ummm... Helvetica is the most popular design font in the world. Hell, the MTA has ordered their designers to ONLY use Helvetica on ALL their fonts, and every hipster in the fucking world uses Helvetica Neue on their flyers / websites.
But that's because it's such an efficient font.
Right. Cleaning. Off I go.
Dude I'm just giving you a hard time. You have to admit, the idea that someone would care enough about fonts to follow and comment on "font fashion" is pretty silly unless they did graphic design for a living.
You'd be surprised about the design literacy of people living in downtown Manhattan: especially the grimy hipsters and trust-funders who would go to my party.
Fucking anime nerd.
edit* hrmmmm I should shrink the size of the music description and snug it under the Y
Something about the composition ... i'unno.
The font is nice, though.
took out her barrettes and her hair spilled out like rootbeer
akin to one of the songs I posted earlier and italo from the 80's
basically think of dance version of this:

One of my favorite songs ever
I can't even name a font off the top of my head. These guys are talking about them like they are modeling them down the runway.
I bet i could ask one of you what font the word Taco would look good in, and i would get a response.
