Just something for him to think about before he starts designing his font. Very nice design, nonetheless. Wouldn’t a font named Ironic Sans need to be sans-serif?

I've started reading Understanding Comics, and the notion that cartoons and icons can be more powerful and universally recognizable then realistic images has really gotten me thinking about the utility of two-color "cartoony" interfaces, like Ironic Sans. Personally I'm also a big fan of digital mechanical watches -- a traditional mechanically wind-up pocket watch, with a digital display (think like an odometer) actuated entirely by springs and sprockets. Defying Analog is neat too :-). A very cool design.

I like it very much. But can it get any more geeky than that trick with the histogram?? That really is a different-looking website. I like it very much.

Thanks! You may be interested in an entry I wrote about a year ago, detailing the work that went into designing Ironic Sans.
