Typography jokes

A spectacle of baldy matched Romance:
A Serif that made out with a Sans.

One more:

Make sure to type sorts squarely in the face,
To ease the lockup of a strenuous chase.

Someone else: “It's not the font, but how you use it that counts.”
Me: “Meh. That’s just something people with small fonts say.”

Oops, that should've been:
Make sure to HIT the TYPE squarely in the face,
To ease the lockup of a strenuous chase.

Two periods were crossing a road. One got run over by a car. The other one turned around and said: "comma!" ;p

A type designer was feverishly designing a new font. He had been ignoring natures call as long as he could hold it off. Just as he finished the "O" ran to the bathroom to relieve his overfilled bladder. When he was almost finished, he stopped and ran back to his computer saying, "I have got to go make a P!"

Client: “The ‘V’ is too pointy. Can we get a ‘V’ that isn’t pointy?”

Me: “An un-pointy ‘V’ may start to look like a ‘U’…”

Client: “We don’t want a ‘U’. We want a ‘V’ that doesn’t have a point.”
