Yesterday afternoon, I ran into a fellow designer who was chatting on the street with a friend who works in the kitchen at a high-end restaurant known for its sushi. As I walked up, my friend informed me that the chef had just popped the “So, do you pick the fonts?” question, and the chef continued a little defensively, upon being informed that I, too, use those crazy font things, “Well, I have a couple of friends who’re designers, and some of them are really picky about fonts.”
In typical slow-witted form, not until today did I think of the proper response, which would have been to say that I’d heard that there are some sushi chefs who are really picky about fish.

I like the fonts on that sushi sign.
Thanks. I art-directed this blog post all by myself!
But can a poorly filleted blowfish font kill you?
Perhaps not, but that would be a result of operator error. Or, as I prefer to say, the bug originates somewhere between the chair and the keyboard.
