Font Freak
I used to be a font freak; I was able to tell you all the names of the fonts! I had a colleague even wrote about my fondness of fonts once! Yes that was how freaky I used to be.
Everywhere I go, everything I came across, I will begun to scan through every possible words. I will then analysed the font type and how the words were being written. Often I will get annoyed with the "wrong" usage of certain types of fonts. Wrong as in according to my standard that is. :) For example, you don't use comic for a bank official statement; Garamond is very Mac; Arial/Times are for serious matters; Courier is for type writer etc. and can you believe there's a font call "Batang"??
I still am sensitive over the usage of fonts but not that anal anymore la. My current favourite is Arial for formal correspondence; Verdana for writing blog; Comic for MSN messager and Garamond for not so formal correspondence.
Never tried Batang though. ;) Maybe I should.

Batang not cute la. I like Arial and Verdana, and I hate Times New Roman. I like one 'black boys on mopeds' for my 'cute' font. :)
I like the Create-A-Card fonts. Norm Heavy is kinda Yoggi Bearish. I prefer non-serif fonts to serif fonts. But typewriter fonts are nice too especially when you're typing out a letter to be printed out and posted to someone.
@Saffy & Foot: Hahhaha... I am not alone, they are more font freaks out there! And I thought I was weird to blog about fonts!
p/s: Hate Times too.
