I was asked this after I first wrote about rebuilding the Espy Sans pixel typeface<\/a> family. It\u2019s a tough question, how long have you got? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, my favourite? To be honest I\u2019m not sure I actually have one \u2013 or rather, not just one favourite, although I do have a shortlist. What I\u2019m also sometimes asked is what\u2019s the \u2018best\u2019 font, and that\u2019s even more of an impossible thing to say. It\u2019s a little like asking who\u2019s the best guitarist: you can\u2019t just pick one, it\u2019s really a matter of taste and appropriate style. Django Reinhardt, Jimi Hendrix, Peter Green, George Benson, Doc Watson, Jimmy Page, Prince \u2013 the more you think about it, the longer the list gets. (In 2008 someone actually made an impressive stab at it and come up with a top 100, at https:\/\/www.digitaldreamdoor.com\/pages\/best_guitar-all.html<\/a>.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
