Tweetzeria: Ain't He a Font of Wisdom?

@nevenmrgan: "Think of toppings on a pizza or an omelet as fonts: Good luck to you if you use more than three at a time or you're tempted by 'wacky' ones." [via Kathryn]

One of my favorite regular customers.

I love it! Plain is like Times New Roman; Pepperoni like Courier, Mushroom like Ariel. Barbecued chicken is like Wingdings; Hawaiian Pizza like Bauhaus.

But what would be the Comic Sans of the toppings world?

Comic Sans....somewhat soft, slightly rounded and hinting at playfulness while still maintaining itself as a legitimate font.....sounds like a dead ringer for basil to me.

@Pizzablogger: I think you've insulted basil! Comic Sans is widely regarded as one of the worst typefaces ever! Basil is awesome.

I guess I'm just font ignant then.....damn you more journalistic "hip" people.

Instead of a few words, I just banged out an entire paragraph in Comic Sans. Mon dieu....what an eye strain!

I agree--Basil is great. Century Schoolbook, perhaps.

Adam, I had never used Comic Sans until you mentioned it. I just tried it, and I think Comic Sans is pretty close to hot dogs and french fries on pizza as you can get.
