DEI fonts, what next?? these people are out of their gourds!
addie🐍🐍🐍plum
12:04:41 PM
hahaha! HELL-vetica
Readie Righteous (host)
12:04:51 PM
@Bike R agree!! hiya!!
addie🐍🐍🐍plum
12:05:04 PM
also, let's not trash Comic Sans too much, it's a great font for people with dyslexia!
Bike R
12:05:07 PM
so funny, HELL-vetica. Awesome
Richard Mitnick
12:05:45 PM
I have been clicked in. Happy to have you in my digiteria. I hope you have a great show.

David Thorne the hilarious Aussie has some great font t shirts. Helvetica ... but in Times Bold font (graphic designer humour)
Readie Righteous (host)
12:06:31 PM
Hiya addie! IKR?? Ok, addie- I had not heard that!! Comic sans always struck me as un-serious, but I'm interested in seeing more about comic sans and dyslexia! This is fascinating!
Brian D
12:07:23 PM
Garamond printed... but in Helvetica also available. Saw that documentary on Helvetica about 10-15 years back. Interesting stuff.
Readie Righteous (host)
12:08:09 PM
Hi Bri! Cool shirts! I am a nerd when it comes to typeface, et caetera
Readie Righteous (host)
12:08:35 PM
Welcome in, Richard! Hope you enjoy today's Recherché!!
alina
12:08:51 PM
hi Readie! very fun theme today, and the delicious jazz continues :D
Bike R
12:09:19 PM
Typesetter here. Typefaces matter!
Readie Righteous (host)
12:09:50 PM
I used to work with graphic designers- so fun to geek out with those who love design of all stripes!
Readie Righteous (host)
12:10:05 PM
Hey, Bike R! so cool!!!
addie🐍🐍🐍plum
12:11:21 PM
ok, apparently those claims have not actually been researched, it's all anecdotal! https://www.boia.org/blog/does-comic-sans-benefit-people-with-dyslexia
addie🐍🐍🐍plum
12:11:33 PM
so, proceed with the mocking!
Readie Righteous (host)
12:11:43 PM
Hi alina! The theme is very loose today...last minute focus on the latest nuttiness!
Readie Righteous (host)
12:13:13 PM
addie! You are awesome to attach the link! I had heard that "sans" fonts like calibri help those with trouble reading because they are less "busy", but I am no expert!
Bike R
12:13:22 PM
@addie ok! Mocking.
Readie Righteous (host)
12:15:14 PM
yeah, comic sans is not so much comic as goofy. Using it for official applications, which I have seen in some cases, dilutes the message...maybe okay for a circus poster??? 😃
Readie Righteous (host)
12:18:31 PM
I can debate font appropriateness per sitch, but not DEI - ness!
Readie Righteous (host)
12:19:13 PM
Actually, the state department's announcement should have come out in comic sans...
Readie Righteous (host)
12:20:14 PM
doobla-vay -pay -air-bee
Readie Righteous (host)
12:22:27 PM
ANDY!
Bike R
12:24:58 PM
@readie love that. all political announcements should be in Comic Sans!
Readie Righteous (host)
12:26:13 PM
@Bike R!!! 😂
Readie Righteous (host)
12:27:49 PM
this tune is the musical equivalent of comic sans!!!
Readie Righteous (host)
12:29:05 PM
Kinda playing off lina's theme - what FONT does each song remind us of???
Readie Righteous (host)
12:31:05 PM
This one is kinda "Eurostile"
Readie Righteous (host)
12:33:15 PM
(There are NO wrong answers in this game!! )
Bike R
12:34:08 PM
Eurostile = sophistacated? Maybe!

Readie Righteous (host)
12:43:31 PM
Hi Kelly!! glad u like!!
Readie Righteous (host)
12:44:04 PM
Kosmik works well, addie!
Readie Righteous (host)
12:44:29 PM
Bell Gothic on this one, maybe?
Bike R
12:54:28 PM
No wrong answers in this game! lol
Kelly Nielsen
12:57:52 PM
The only thing I know about fonts is that the great socialist William Morris designed the Golden Type font
Readie Righteous (host)
1:05:56 PM
nice Kelly! here it is: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_Type
Readie Righteous (host)
1:07:26 PM
"Dalliance" on this one?
Bike R
1:09:52 PM
dalliance is like the perfect purple fox
addie🐍🐍🐍plum
1:10:27 PM
this track needs something more whimsical than is on that list of 100!
Readie Righteous (host)
1:10:34 PM
😄
Readie Righteous (host)
1:11:02 PM
addie - feel free to use any list- I think you have something there!
Readie Righteous (host)
1:12:16 PM
It's funny- cuz you can think of the lyrics OR the melody when making a selection-
Readie Righteous (host)
1:13:45 PM
another list: https://globalfonts.pro/fonts/
Readie Righteous (host)
1:19:21 PM
Here is an exhaustive list of typefaces: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_typefaces

Good morning, Readie, and greetings from Tauranga, New Zealand. It’s Friday morning here, and we’re getting ready to head out exploring. No better way to start the day than Recherche!
Readie Righteous (host)
1:25:38 PM
Hey Jeffry! great ! Happy Friday! Thanks for checking in from NZ!!! Enjoy your trip!!! 🇳🇿🇳🇿
Readie Righteous (host)
1:30:52 PM
OOO! The Bastard typeface matches this one! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bastard_(typeface)
Bike R
1:32:58 PM
oooohh. Gothic!
Readie Righteous (host)
1:34:33 PM
yeah!!
Bike R
1:37:10 PM
Just play these gothic songs, hehe
Readie Righteous (host)

Zapfino!
Readie Righteous (host)

Cartier!
David Shortell
1:41:01 PM
Thanks for bringing the movie "Anna" to my attention, though I think I heard that song on "Killing Eve".
Readie Righteous (host)
1:41:47 PM
Hi David! I wouldn't be surprised if they used the song on Killing Eve!
Readie Righteous (host)
1:43:54 PM
I don't see any funky typefaces...
Readie Righteous (host)
1:47:36 PM
Hey addie - I found a font designed for mitigating dyslexic's issues: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dyslexie
Readie Righteous (host)
1:53:18 PM
Grand slang lol
michael gudgeon
1:59:56 PM
great set readie!
Readie Righteous (host)
2:02:13 PM
Hey michael g- thanks! good to see you!
David Shortell
2:03:16 PM
The only film of Dylan and Donovan I've seen is in the documentary "Don't Look Back", shot in 1965. They seemed amicable, as they did in the photo on the back cover of Peter, Paul and Mary's 1966 album "Album".
michael gudgeon
2:06:49 PM
same to you readie!
Readie Righteous (host)
2:07:21 PM
Yes, Dylan dug Donovan - but he had a biting, sarcastic humor that could be cutting - partly because he was getting tired of being compared to Donovan on tour... a snippet in time!
Readie Righteous (host)
2:17:18 PM
I don't see any African-inspired fonts - interesting...
Kerrofflesburgsteinski
2:21:51 PM
The Egyptians were pretty good in the font department. :)
Readie Righteous (host)
2:25:12 PM
Hiya Roff- as a matter of fact - I just saw a couple that were interesting...and Papyrus was a banger...
Kerrofflesburgsteinski
2:28:22 PM
Yes, quite crafty with Papyrus. Scribes were definitely a thing.
Readie Righteous (host)
2:29:43 PM
and I also marvel at the monks who used to painstakingly & beautifully copy manuscripts...
Jeffry Langan
2:29:47 PM
We’re off to explore. Thanks for helping us get our day started right! ‘See’ you next week from cold, snowy Green Bay. Ugh!!
Readie Righteous (host)
2:30:42 PM
Oh wow, Jeff- safe travels home!! Snow maybe here over the weekend...ENJOY!!!! Spring while you can!!
George Korein
2:35:24 PM
Been loving this show! Especially the Mamadou
Kerrofflesburgsteinski
2:35:58 PM
Whoa, Green Bay? Isn't that closed until April? Safe travels!
Readie Righteous (host)
2:39:31 PM
Hey George- thanks glad you're enjoying! Good to see ya! Keeping up with your latest dance moves on the socials!! Keep rockin'!!!
Jeffry Langan
2:39:36 PM
@Kerrofflesburgsteinski - Green Bay doesn’t close until the Packer’s season ends. 😂
Readie Righteous (host)
2:40:26 PM
🤣

Fun show today, Readie, thank you!
