becky is and I say this kindly Anal about the Exact spacing between letters. Kerning as well. Blocks of text n multiple paragraphs that cause your eyes to tear up OR put you to sleep as you read with that mass of density Laweryz rite as they stuff STUFF in so you will miss the zinger that will save their client from grief OR put the other person away for a few years.

@885,150 (beckyderp !Memes4aSuc)When I was a kid i thought it was called italic because the letters were leaning like the Tower of Pisa, which is a famous Italian landmark.

Be careful with that. GT super display will default to double spaced comic sans if you read it on macOS

Jesus Christ, Becky. You're a certified font fanatic. I thought I only had to sit through discussions about font weights and kerning when I went out to get a latte at the corner coffee house. I thought I was safe here at Minichan.

What the hell is going on with those serifs? The lower case letters look like something an orc would wield while attacking Frodo.

I'm sorry that this forum can't appreciate good typography. It is truly sad.
@885,238 (M)
What is going on there is good typography. My letters have never looked better. Distinctive yet professional. I can see you are jealous and I feel genuine pity for you.

Well I hope your clients appreciate all the thought you put into choosing a font. Maybe I am a little jealous of your conscientious attention to detail. (but not of your serifs)
@885,167 (Meta)
> When I was a kid i thought it was called italic because the letters were leaning like the Tower of Pisa
I swear I remember hearing this from a teacher when I was a kid too. It made it really easy to remember the name if nothing else.

Pretty much. I can't deal with knowing there are other GT Super fonts I could be using, when I am working on any document.
For instance, I already replaced the GT Super Display Medium on my business cards with GT Super Display (regular). It makes a big difference. I just need every other weight and style pretty much now. There are so many different bolds!
Thanks.

What do you use for a serif?
Formerly I was using Calisto MT. The only thing with Calisto is it needs a bit of letterspacing.

Let me point out that GT Super is a beautiful and well-reviewed typeface. It may be too refined for your tastes, but that is not my problem. Someone on reddit liked it anyway. Thanks.

Well, if GT Super is good enough for you, then that's all the reason you need. It does look quite professional. Don't take my gentle chiding for font shaming.
