You know you're a typophile if you look at this and see an O emerging from a horizon.

If you look at this and see a red canopy/umbrella, then perhaps not.

Enlarge it on Flickr

It looks more like a 0 to me, sorry to be picky but…

I see a tongue, and a sailboat crossing the Red Sea.

Dan, you qualify thanks to this unobtrusive capital C around your face...

I hope so, Sebastian… I hope so ;-)

I read signs out loud as I walk past them while walking down the street. The letters just jump out at me. Sometimes I think that other people might hear me and think I’m crazy, so I stop for a few minutes.

I thought that sign was an O for the longest time until I stopped to examine it closer. It still has no meaning to me since there’s no signage around it to give any clues (except for the building’s address in the gold underneath).

Cyrillic D... makes you a Cyrillophile.

Well... I saw an A, I’m sure that counts.

Well, I hate to admit this, but stepping over my doorjamb is a major undertaking, because I have to READ en CLASSIFY anything that’s visible/readable. And that’s NOT part of any glyph. Discussion closed, right?

I thought it was an ’Ω’ but maybe that’s because I’ve got my Greek textbook open at the moment.
