I had a conversation this week about different typesets, and how interesting they are, and as such, thought what better a topic for this week’s one liners than Font Jokes? Don’t expect them to be too funny or original… …and if you are interested in the history of fonts – it’s much more interesting than you might think – then here’s a great book on the topic, definitely recommended:
Times New Roman and Arial walk into a bar. The barman says “we don’t serve your type here”.
A friend’s son was baptised Comic Sans. The vicar used the wrong font.
What did one font say to the other on the beach? “Serif’s up!”
I was going to insult someone using paragraph formatting tools. It would have been entirely justified.
My problem with Comic Sans is that it’s just not my type.
What is a typographer’s favourite chocolate? M & Ms.
In which font are horoscopes written? Futura.
I would make a font joke but I’m not bold enough.
I was asked for advice on a font for a launch campaign. I suggested Trebuchet.
I’m not overweight, I’m in bold.
A font meets a friend in Rome and asks “are you a Roman too?” “No, but I am an Italic…”
There is nothing wrong with the tower in Pisa. It was just built in italics.
There was a lot of trouble in the Wild West fonts as they were Sans Sheriff.
I keep seeing jokes written on the beach. Think it’s the Comic Sands.
Last week’s jam jokes are here.
