Patrick Farrace brought this to my attention the other day: the Bee finally ran a short article on typefaces and the new documentary “Helvetica,” asking many local Sacramentans about fonts and personalities, and they included a brief snippet from me. Nothing too fancy, but it was kind of neat to be included. Bee writer Sam McManis asked me a few questions several weeks ago while I was working locally at the Naked Coffee Lounge downtown. From the article:
Back to Sacramento Web developer Cody McKibben, pecking away on his laptop recently at the Naked Lounge cafe in midtown Sacramento – he says he’s conscious of how others will interpret a typeface. So he chooses carefully. It’s akin, he says, to a first impression in the online world.
“When I’m e-mailing someone I don’t know well, I’ll stick with serif types, but I’ll make sure to attach a signature in either Garamond or Georgia, which is much cleaner than Times New Roman,” McKibben says. “When I’m doing a blog, I’ll go with a sans serif like Verdana.
“I know some people choose fonts to make statements.”
