I Shot the Serif

If you’re on twitter you may already be aware of fontsongs.
If, like us, you’re not on twitter you may not be aware of font songs.

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.
