I'm such a closet typography geek. I'll pretty much upvote any HN post having to do with analyzing fonts. The "depth" of the art and science of typography has always fascinated me. For example when I learned that TrueType etc... actually had, effectively, a built in scripting language where typeface-specific code ran during rendering I was blown away. Stylistically I tend to prefer sans-serif fonts for my own work. So the font the author used for his example does not directly appeal for me. I appreciate it (like I appreciate a well put together Harley Davidson Chopper, but would never, in 1000 years own one). I have an odd love of mono-spaced, sans-serif fonts in particular. Consolas speaks to me and I'm always seeking out new fonts for my console & editor. Heh. Thanks for this post.
