    Oy, much as I love typography–and I really, really do–I’m not up on these things enough to grab a 19th c. example by name. I do know Times New Roman is rahther tacky, and I love Helvetica. It’s all over the 60s-set series Mad Men, and I eat it up with every shot.

    I’m not sure what it’s called–something like Fuck the 19th Century.

    It’s a trick question. Typefaces weren’t invented until computers were discovered in the late 20th century.

    Akzidenz Grotesk.
