in Mozilla C-style and GNU C-style projects. Of course, it's a remnant of the past (grep ^main), but kgmgaehgka.
For those who jump around too much like I do, remember:
Not that in particular, but design often comes down to the function f(keywords the branding people like) = very same-looking things. Yay trends.
A lot of fashion companies wanted to be "simple. bold. modern but ready for the future." Now all their logo fonts are basically the same. It's also why everyone loves Futura.
With websites, brand people pick the keywords "calm, professional, modern, reliable" and end up with blue so much that it's the most common website color. So I'm not surprised that the web designers in question picked something "friendly" and "modern" like some font you'd imagine would go well as white text on a matte or charcoal background.
Same reason why I see so much Comfortaa on slideshows (alphabetically near the start of the font list, and f(modern, smart) = title font)
EXACTLY what I'm looking for thank you
Okay, what were your last ten hyperfixations? (˵ •̀ ᴗ - ˵ ) ✧
And not to hang up on superficial stereotypes but metal is sophisticated too -- a lot of the voicing/structure/styling is so classical-and-jazz that, with instrument switches, it can be indistinguishable. Don't get me started on trying to claw my way through metal time signatures
Case in point: Dmitri Shostakovich - String Quartet 8 (guitar version)
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?

font with the light blue shading thing. This club recruitment poster was made in Microsoft Word.
About serif disdain... what about LaTeX's serif? :}
