5 Glits of Drajjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjj
1.) A really cool excuse:
“Saying she was working on a sequel to ‘Wolf Hall,’ Mantel was not at the NBCC event.”
Yeh, I can’t attend the awards. I am writing the sequel to the book you are awarding. While you drink shrimp and eat gin, I am writing. Excuse me. Pop!
2.) What’s Andy Warhol doing in rural Colombia?
I don’t know. A tomato can full of cocaine? Who gives a fuck. Blar me.
3.) Did you know Lucy Corin is in the Great Outdoors issue of Hobart? How issue is this killer? Buy, fondle, crunk, read.
4.) I stopped reading a novel today with 9 pages left. The end. Ever done that?
5.) Sometimes Lit Mags use ugly fonts and it makes me sad. Sweet like forehead tattoos I want my words. I see my piece (oh how very important) and think, “Fuck, that looks like a lawyer or a dead fish or a lawyer with a dead fish.” Or I am trying to read other words and the font keeps pushing like a hydrogen cloud, human-given; a laboratory vision of near incompetence the moment it was thought, a hollow blar of a font just waiting for the smelly feet, waiting for the nasal drip from New York to come telling me in his fray, hopelessly hollow yet somehow charming, yellow, open-air way meant for stopping my brain from uploading beauty. But I digress. So.
WHAT IS THE BEST FONT?

Hm, best font? I like that one fountain in Golden Gate Park. It’s just a stream of water that shoots into the air. Reminds me of something. I don’t know.

I just want to read a font that makes me feel like I agree with myself.

Yes. Your work in your handwriting.

Helvetica for titles. (No, not Arial. I am a purist. And a geek. And a sad social inadequate with no life to speak of.) With something like Garamond or Georgia for body text.
Though I think there should be more lit mags produced in Comic Sans.

Georgia, yes. Georgia is the best.

I know this would be considered sacrilegious by many, but I am a little more than halfway through V. and I’m thinking of dropping it. Norwood is waiting in the wings and I don’t know if I can put up with Pynchon’s shenanigans any longer.

Oh, and Univers is the best.

MS Word doesn’t have Helvetica, right? Can someone confirm this?
I don’t know much about fonts. What is the most OG font? What are the ‘top 5’ fonts and what do they connote? Is Helvetica ‘hip’? Is there anything wrong with Times New Roman?

I use typewriters so I prefer a typewriter font on the computer. that said I believe my IBM Selectric III has a ‘Letter Gothic 96’ font ball in it, but I use courier to write letters.

Helvetic Neue is the one font to rule them all. Also Minion Pro for text.

Word only has Helvi if you’re on a Mac. If you’re on a PC, Word will only have Helvi if you’ve bought the font to use on your computer. Mac comes standard with a small family of Helvi fonts; PCs don’t.
“Top 5” is obviously subjective, but currently, the 5 of the most common that you currently see is (in no particular order) Helvetica, Gotham, Georgia, Garamond, and Futura. My personal top 5 is probably Avenir, Helvi, League Gothic, Gotham, and some Goudys.
Helvi is “hip” I guess.
Times isn’t a bad font really. Just kind of standard. There are better, cleaner fonts for what Times does.

Oh, man. I forgot about Univers. That’s a great one, too.

Oh, and as for OG fonts, if you don’t count monks’ handwriting, Asian woodblock, or old Asian block type, the OG font would be Gutenberg’s Textualis.
