It started about five days ago with Matt Irvine Brown and Ben Terrett.
As the name would suggest, it involves fonts and songs. And puns.
Some of my favourites are:
Lucida in the Sky with Diamonds
Highway to Helvetica
Oops I Didot Again
Some are poor, some are offensive, some are cringe-worthy, some are hide-behind-the-sofa scary, some are stop-or-my-mom-will-shoot, and some are pure genius. That’s the joy of puns. Add your own here.
Candle in the Wingdings
a thank you.
Wherever I lay matura that’s tahoma
( you make me feel ) might arial.
‘Islands In The Bitstream’
“The Times New Romans They Are A-Changing’
‘We Will Rockwell’

Of course we could always make it font films:
American Typewriter X?
Deep Impact?
Back to the Futura?
Lord of the Wingdings?
Erm…”There’s Something About Myriad”?
How about “The Tahoma-nator?”
I’ve got it: Ken Russell’s “(Franklin) Gothic (Medium)”!
Four webdings and and a futura?
It’s better with one ‘and’ though…
Jacko’s ‘Man in the Myriad’

‘Gone with the Wingding’
