Is it Really So Strange?


How many languages can you read? Can you read "dingbat"? A British design firm designed recruitment posters for a new hire with all the text set in various dingbat typefaces! They figured only a typographic-master would get it and bother to decode the posters. Read about it here.

Decode them yourself and find out what they say, type-boy (or girl)!

I believe it says: BUY PLENTY OF P22 FONTS!

hmmm...is P22 coming out with a new font? 'Transparent Motive Open Face' perhaps? Cuz' if so this dingbat is buying!

[I like my fonts to read between the lines.]

Sorry, I only use Hobo Bold

I think 'Hobo Bold" was one of the only 25 fonts I had available during the Sign O' The Times era.

Of course we also rocked the following 'hot' 1991 display fonts:
> Comic Book Two
> Graphik Shadow
> Dyno Bold
> Ad Serif Bold
