SERIF SYNDROME: THE TREATMENT PLAN
Step 1: Identify Your Font Issues
Are you tired of your serifs looking like they've been put through a cheese grater? Do you struggle to read the difference between a 'g' and a 'q'? Welcome to the Serif Syndrome Treatment Program.
- Take a close look at your font collection. Which ones are making you cry?
- Consider the emotional baggage of each font. Do you have any fondness for Comic Sans?
- Consult with our team of expert typographers to help you sort out the mess.
Step 2: Practice Serif Reduction
We will guide you through a series of exercises designed to reduce your reliance on serifs.
- Try reading a book with only sans-serif fonts. We dare you.
- Practice writing without the little flourishes. Your hand cramps from the effort.
- Join our support group for other sufferers of Serif Syndrome.
Step 3: Learn to Love the Rhythm
Serifs are like jazz music: complex, beautiful, and occasionally confusing. Learn to appreciate the subtlety of the little flourishes.
- Take a class on the history of serif design. It's a real page-turner.
- Listen to music with complex rhythms. Maybe you'll find your love for the serif.
- Join our serif-themed book club. We're reading "The Joy of X's" this month.
