I loved reading this! (I hilariously actually read the dancing font before I moved on and it was tough but I love that you explained all that in your next paragraph!)

I am a great lover of changing fonts to inspire myself. I used to do it while making posters and would often create a hilarious nightmare page of fonts.

My editor wanted my book in Times New Roman and I wanted to say…but how about this weird font I bought the rights to in 2021?

But I resisted. I wish I hadn’t. I wish I could use typewriter fonts for everything.

Anyhow. This piece really made me feel joyful. I don’t need writing hacks, as I can’t stop writing, but this piece made me feel like I’d been gifted some ideas for play, and that is exactly what I needed.

Haha! Me too, I always love a good typewriter font, and I’ve been in a courier new phase lately.

So happy to hear it brought you some joy, thanks for reading 💜

I love Comic Sans. I did learn never to use it at work though. Not even for email😕

This game me the uplift I've been searching for this morning, Nico. 🙂 When I get up the courage, I'll try Comic Sans (but I won't let anyone see... )
