SND BLOG AND FONT HAIKUS

So, lately I've been working to help get the big SND Update blog off the ground. We went live over the weekend and traffic has been pretty good so far. A recent post:

In honor of the premiere of the movie Helvetica at SXSW, the folks over at Extensis held a little contest where people could send in haikus about fonts. Some gems:

A couple on Helvetica ...

Dear Helvetica,
Wish I had your style and class
Regards, Arial

Helevetica sits,
watching you try the new fonts.
It knows you'll be back.

you are a default
i change you to futura
but you haunt me still


This one's funny for Web nerds ...

font: normal 2em
Helvetica,sans-serif;
color: #f00;


A couple on other fonts ...

morning press run:
the Bodoni extra bold
glistening blackly

Egg-shaped and awkward,
and you have no descenders.
I hate you, Hobo.

comic sans is on
taped-up public bathroom signs
for patrons only.


My favorite, also on Comic Sans ...

Hey guys! LOL!
I forward jokes! And cat pics!
I heart MSN.
