Perks of Font


“To laugh often, to win the affection of children, to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of fast friends, to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others, to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch… to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This to have succeeded.”

Isn’t it funny how a certain text or color or font can remind you of one thing every time you see it. This particular font reminds me of the quote, “we accept the love we think we deserve” from the book The Perks Of Being A Wallflower. I read this book when I was a sophomore in high school and ever since then every time I see this font I am reminded of this book.

It is insane how society has become so dependent on technology to trigger a memory. The simplest of a photo can remind you of the best day of your life. Colors can symbolize an emotion, an action or even an event. Companies have logos or certain fonts so when you see them you are reminded of where you first saw it and relate it back to their company.
