PVP Makes Fun of Font Porn

Sometimes it is reassuring to realise that, no, we are not alone. Yesterday third typography reference in its publishing history. Probably playing off the title of Simon Garfield's popular typography book, Just My Type gives a knowing wink at what could best be described as "font porn". I think most of us recognise the look on Jade's face when her Mac-addicted designer husband utters that last phrase…

By the by, this reminded me of that episode when Typophile went offline and was replaced by a chat forum for a couple of weeks in the early 2000's. One night when my then-wife suddenly came home I told my fellow Typophiles "Sorry people, I need to shut this window and quickly open some porn site. My wife cannot know I have been chatting about typography all this time."

The connected script spelling out "Font Bordello" so tastefully is James T. Edmonson's Wisdom Script.
