What Type Are You?



Spending seven years researching typefaces and personalities, twenty-three academics from Pentagram created What type are you?. A four question test that analyses your character and recommends what type is perfect for you. Me? New Alphabet: rational, assertive, progressive, disciplined. (via Somethings Hiding In Here).

Love the test - I am Expanded Antique but I am worried that only 1.6% surveyed match this font - does this mean by brother was right and I AM from outer space? oxo

So fun! Keep them coming! I'm trying to decide if my answers were right as I'm not too much into New Alphabet much....

This really made me smile!
I got Archer Hairline - which I quite like (in fact now I want to buy it and use it!)
Such a sweet idea

Fun, I love typography, I studied it too! I am Archer Hairline, which is my favorite out of the choices.

"Archer Hairline" here - outwardly composed, with little bursts of emotion.
