What font are you?

By: Natasha | Posted on February 9, 2010 | 16 Comments

Hi Minties, What font are you? Try this test from Pentagram (password: character) to find out.

The application was researched by a team of 23 academics over seven years. The four key character questions yield 16 typefaces.

And does your font fit you? I am a Pistilli Roman, which surprised me at first because it’s a touch loud, but it’s really grown on me.

    now now it’s not what font you are but how you use that font that REALLY matters…

    OK, I had to do it too.. I am New Alphabet like Katherine. Apparently, it’s a font that was originally meant for computer screens.
