you ever just stare at different scripts?
you ever just stare at different scripts?
like, not reading them, just looking at how pretty they are?
let me guess - you've been up all night looking at fonts again
arabic script looks like it's dancing across the page. it's like... aesthetic jazz
ok that's actually true. but have you seen georgian? looks like someone took a bunch of tiny hot air balloons and made an alphabet
omg yes! and thai script looks like it's having a little party with all those loops and curves
careful, you're entering dangerous font-nerd territory
too late. did you know korean letters were literally designed to look like the shape your mouth makes when you say them?
that's both cool and slightly unsettling. like finding out your alphabet has been watching you
russian cursive looks like a heart monitor reading of someone watching a horror movie
that's... weirdly specific and accurate
and don't get me started on chinese characters. each one is like a tiny abstract painting
you sound like that time you had four espressos and tried to convince me that punctuation marks have personalities
the semicolon is clearly going through something
it's just a period having an existential crisis
and the exclamation mark is that friend who's way too excited about everything!!!
question marks are just confused exclamation marks
you know what's wild? japanese has these super blocky angular characters right next to these flowing curvy ones
like an architectural mood swing
exactly! and sanskrit looks like someone hung tiny decorations from a washing line
you've officially lost it. but also yes
sometimes i write things in comic sans just to feel something
ok now you've gone too far
comic sans is just trying its best ok? it's the golden retriever of fonts
and wingdings is that cousin nobody talks about
hebrew letters look like they're all trying to stand up straight at a formal event
while persian is basically arabic doing calligraphy after taking a dance class
tibetan script looks like it has tiny houses built into it
maybe that's where all the lowercase letters live
3:30 AM
you know what bothers me?
we call them uppercase and lowercase but we store them all at the same height in the keyboard
🥱 it's 3.35
but the devanagari script has this line running across the top connecting everything like a tiny typography neighborhood
you need to sleep.
maybe sleep is just helvetica for the soul
that's it.
you'll never take my lorem ipsum alive!
...
i regret nothing. times new roman empire forever
goodnight!
wait! what if emojis are just hieroglyphics having a midlife crisis?
😴😴😴
guess you can't handle the serif truth
