Hipsters love typography
What is the point of all those fonts that nobody ever uses?
A good use for an old-timey font
Dear Hipster:
Why does Microsoft Word come with so many fonts that nobody ever uses?
— Syd
It’s not that nobody ever uses them, it’s that 99 percent of the available fonts in your word-processing program of choice are only used by college students drafting résumés for their first internships. For example, the SDSU class of 2018 uses up an entire society’s worth of Papyrus every year.
If anybody out there is wondering how this falls beneath the purview of hipster knowledge (and I admit, probably nobody is wondering that, but just in case you are), I refer you to...I don’t know, how about any sign for any business opened since about 2008?
Hipsters love typography.
I should qualify that a bit. We don’t love typography in the sense that we would like to work at a printer, preparing plates and watching those big spools of paper spin around. We love typography in the sense that we enjoy seeing our small-batch whiskey bottles wrapped in labels that wouldn’t have looked out of place in 1932. You might say we love typography to the tune of $24/ounce, if you’re the cynical bastard type; but I prefer to think of it as a love founded on tradition but without the needlessly difficult or dangerous parts.
