               @zachleat @beep @sophie this seems like a great and relevant time to drop one of the best Make Some Noise bits: https://youtu.be/zKDfXIzXSnY?si=wPC-7K8cTu5zjSxO

            @beep @zachleat idk, you could be a comic, sans the actual humour part

   @zachleat Looking at these responses, I'm thinking I might need to re-Calibri-ate how often.

7. Stuart Langridge 7 min later

   @zachleat roughly as often as I think about the Confœderatio Helvetica

         @zachleat I had to look up the spelling and even then I was sceptical. Unusual diphthongs ftw

            @sil and sisqó wept

            1. Stuart Langridge 26 min later

               @zachleat …for there were no more worlds to conquer

               (Never heard of Sisqó! Although if one is looking for an epitaph, “Sisqó's visual trademarks are his hairstyles and flamboyant stage costumes, which were regularly flashier than those of his groupmates” is not a bad one)

               1. Zach Leatherman 28 min later

                  @sil sisqó famously sang the diphthong song

                  1. Stuart Langridge 32 min later

                     @zachleat ah. Searching found many references to “Thong Song” and I misconstrued this as not being about linguistics :)

   @zachleat Come to think of it, roman type has been living rent free in my head lately.

    @zachleat every time I fire up the Creative Suite zach, I'm thinking about like – Trajan’s column, and how there's a direct line from the letterforms that kind of naturally arise when using stonecutting tools to, like, all of western typography. Also they used Vs for Us it was cool as shit.

    @zachleat I can't think of any font jokes without recalling the best one ever done. If you've ever seen it at all, one line is enough reference. "I know what you did!" Ryan Gosling's best work.
