Jumping back into this old

Jumping back into this old thread years after the fact, and I see the smilies are all gone. All those little broken images; Typophilie used to have smiley graphics and not anymore. How very sad.

He he. Office Space.

This thread has gone looney.

"You want to express yourself, right? 15 pieces of flair is the minimum. You don't only want to do the minimum, do you? Brian, over there, is wearing 37 pieces of flair. 15 is the minimum, but some people choose to wear more, and we encourage that. Mmmkay?"

Don't tell me they made a flare font for courier.

Bwa-ha-ha-ha!

(Just kidding. It's not real. Sweet dreams.)

Yves, he's scary good isn't he.

Dan, don't tempt him, PLEASE!

Mark you made my day, only an evil scientist from a 50s B movie would make a flare font for University Roman. Don't tell me they made a flare font for courier.

This thread has turned into gold. Great laughs all around!
Thanks Mark for the hilariously delicious scans. Lovely!

BTW Now at last I know: Torino Italic Flair. Thank you Mark
for inadvertently solving that little mystery.

This is really funny. I was just gonna say that University Roman already has built-in swashes. It's such an OTT font isn't it.

He he. Flair eh? Even the nomenclature is retro-silly.

And both Franklin Gothic and Univers Flair are insane! Simply out of the world! Stark ranting and raving mad!

Made my day!

Btw, swash lovers should help me out by posting their favourites here.

If only that were true...

dan — Wed, 28 Jan 2004 13:28:23 -0800

Mark between the Franklin Gothic Extra Condensed Flare and the Universe Flare, I can't decide which one makes me want to upchuck more. At least no one did a University Roman Flare

You got a problem with how I frame my Mondrians, buddy?

I might not, but I'm sure Mondrian would. :-)
