Sii suggested we have a Wiki for the best and worst puns on typophile. This could be added to by anyone with a high groan factor or just copied from any olde Typophile posts. The floor is open.

Here is a beauty from Si posted recently:

“>Depends if you count the carved letterforms on the Trajan column as the corporate face of Rome :-)

Great attention to detail. Proves that the letter carvers fiddled while Rome kerned. ;-)”

Si strikes again. His comment on the recent merger of hotmetal giants Linotype and Monotype:

“Their biggest challenge will be unifying their respective hot metal technologies - my guess is that Linotype casters will be retrofitted to cast one letter at a time - a “mono line” if you will.”

Here’s a groaner for ya that I just came up with:

“I have designed three fonts for my girlfriend, but I can’t decide which one descender!”

Anyone? Anyone? Well, the crickets sure seem to approve...

Dear Chris Lozos

This comment has nothing to do with your blog, sorry. I just don’t know any other way to ask you this question.

In a forum, 26. May 2006 about the Kunstgewerbeschule Basel you asked: “Also, was Frank Vigliotti there then as well?”

I was a friend of Frank in the late sixties and early seventies in Basel but have lost touch years ago. Are you still in touch or do you know someone who is?

Regards

Martin
