Although Comic Sans is typically misused when trying to make signage and flyers appear friendlier, I actually love it here in this ATM interface. The user experience of most ATMs is so poorly designed that the fact that this ATM’s creator gave at least an ounce of thought to typeface selection (even though they went with old C.S.) gives me hope. (Plus, the transaction fee is only $1.49 — a steal!)

Since posting on the origin of the Apple key, I dined at an establishment that found a completely new use for that command propeller symbol:

The New York Times has another interesting look at campaign typeface choices, focusing mostly on McCain’s use of Optima, but making some interesting observations about his opponents’ typographic choices as well.

Okay, so everyone in the type world has already posted a link to this, but go ahead — try your hand at The Rather Difficult Font Game. (I scored a 28 on my first try.)

This is a first: A screensaver with production credits. See the site for a higher-quality video.
