Before you answer that, see what they’re saying over at Andy Budd’s Desert Island Fonts post.
I’m fickle with fonts (although the current Helvetica trend has to stop now. Please. Think of the children.) A font like Formata had me ga-ga in 2001, reaching for the delete key in 2004 and thinking of reactivating it today. This is probably why I’ve never willingly abandoned myself on a desert island.
Updated: I’ve posted my picks…
Gilligan
Skippy
Ginger
Any two Howells
The Professor
…And Cirrus, by MaryAnne
Well, to stick to the island theme, I’d take the truly horrible Calypso font.
Eeek. I’d brave the sharks.
