I don't think I'll be taking typography advice from the person that designed that web site. I fired up the laptop just to check that it was just as hideous and disjointed on desktop as it was on iPad. Yup, sure is.

"Loved by hipsters and lazy designers", I dunno, maybe it was all supposed to be ironic.

Developers know that when using Helvetica you're never wrong, but also never right.

Ah, hell no... Futura's awesome... it's so... round and... futury.

Why do you hate and fear the future Mike Blumenthal?
