if the news here is old, blame
July 13, 2010

As I first mentioned in my biography on this very website, I have this thing about fonts. I'm a little bit obsessed with fonts. I have my favorites, ones I rely on on a daily basis, and then, of course, the ones I absolutely cannot stand (I, of course, am referring to Papyrus). So, taking all of that into consideration, you should prepare yourselves.

Recently, I came across a site that I have a feeling you all will enjoy, font enthusiasts and technophobes alike. This website brings up an interesting question that you would probably otherwise never be asked: Cheese or Font? Perhaps you've never noticed (I certainly had not), but it's true - a lot of names of fonts sound quite similar to names of cheeses.

You might think you know your fonts or your cheeses pretty well, but let me tell you - you'll be surprised, and it's much more difficult than you might think. For example, who would have guessed that Newcastle, Carattere, and Hubert are all names of fonts, while Molbo, Kenafa, and Waterloo are actually cheese names? I certainly didn't.

Happy guessing!
