What Type Are You?


@mondayboo tweeted this so I clicked.

I love the way the test is conducted. The video, the narrative, all those hand motions, and how they have your answers scribbled down on the tiny notepad after. And the resultant typeface.

I am Archer Hairline.

Designed by Jonathan Hoefler and Tobias Frere-Jones, Archer Hairline is a modern typeface with a straightforward appearance but one that has tiny outbreaks of elegance and tiny dots of emotion only apparent on closer examination.

If you are someone who is outwardly composed but will occasionally run into the bathroom for a quick laugh or quiet cry before emerging to the world outwardly composed again, then Archer Hairline is your type.

I really like the way the quiz was presented, thought up, the accent the man had. All until I got Baskerville, ITALICS (!!!) slapped on my forehead. Okay I shouldn't be taking it so seriously but I was upset with the result lol.
