Mine is mapping. I am a big OpenStreetMap contributor and I have mapped many towns near me that were previously completely unmapped.

    Oh my God I LOVE FONTS

    Spartan is a bit wide for me (see that w?) but Lato with a good colorscheme is always sexy

    Another thing: if you’re familiar with fonts you can have a weird pseudo-Sherlock funtime guessing how something was made.

    points This book is using Georgia instead of Times New Roman. See how the 9 is low? But the page numbers are Times New Roman because the 9 isn’t low. Was paging in the author’s control?

    and

    font with the light blue shading thing. This club recruitment poster was made in Microsoft Word.

    About serif disdain… what about LaTeX’s serif? :}

      Brick?

      Anyway, maybe you have some insight - any idea why so many web designers prefer Light or Hairline now? Or at any rate the thinnest possible fonts? Did someone with credibility announce that thin fonts are actually easier to read, or is it just a style trend?
