Stuff I Like: Font of Wisdom Edition


1. Bauhaus 93: This is my current favorite font because it looks like a 1970s roller-rink to me. Picture it with yellow and orange stripes behind it and you'll see what I mean.
2. Stencil: This professional yet fun font is what I use for my folders at work; it brings happiness to my day. You only thought The Office was a television program.
3. Verdana: You could probably write a paper using Verdana, depending on the professor. When I was writing a lot of papers, I used Verdana to break the monotony of 12-point Times New Roman.
4. Comic Sans MS: Truly, you know an event is worth attending when you see a flier using this font. Its sense of comical whimsy adds a light-hearted touch to any society meeting.
5. Wingdings: I include this font because I'm baffled by its existence, as well as its spin-off fonts, Wingdings 2 & 3 and Webdings. Clearly, Wingdings has been a successful font; I don't understand why, or what it's used for, but I respect success.

I am sad that I do not have the 70s roller rink writing font on my computer. My goal is to find it and use it for the rest of my life!
