Viral TikTok video hilariously imagines fonts hanging out

Fonts interacting

Digital creator Elle Cordova has posted a hilarious video imagining how different fonts would interact with each other. Apparently there's a strong generational divide between the serifs and the younger trendier sans serifs while Papyrus is just trying to get an invite to hang out.

It turns out that Cordova's personifications have sparked debate among their fans, with many coming to defend their favourite fonts – personally, I'll always be fighting the corner for Comic Sans. Thanks to Cordova, I'll now be thinking very carefully about my font pairings to make sure they don't just look good but also get on with each other.
