    Let me guess the request from Sir Font-a-lot. Based soley on the ponytail, I'm gonna go with "Geting Jiggy Wit It". Don't lie. I'm close, right?

    He asked for, "something he could dance to...you know, the 'Birthday Song'".

    New Yorker profile on the dude last year had him as huge coltrane fan, so we played "Thembi," when he came in (being that we had no Coltrane).

    Beg to differ, but the streets are feelin' Monaco. Get reconnected!

    You guys missed some silly shit there. 'Top Billin' acapella on 45 over Donny's live 'The Ghetto'?

    Same here. Actually knowing the difference between Arial and Helvetica? I can shoot myself now.

    PS Should I buy two bullets and leave a pistol-sized packing box pre-addressed to Minneapolis next to my suicide note? You might save some money that way. Holler.

    I personally like Akzidenz. I think mostly due to the fact that it's the first true sans serif, and Helvetica gets too much play.

    Akzidenz

    HOT


    Monaco

    NOT

    HOT


    <font face="Monaco" color="#FF0000">Monaco</font>

    NOT

    gotta agree. I see the humanistic sans jernts coming into flavor a lot these days, but that seems a bit too humanistic in a comic sans sort of way.

    Getting humanistic (but not losing the structure I so dearly seek in a sans), I'm digging on some DIN and its variations. It's all about those lowercase L's. So hot right now.
