What type(face) are you?
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Design firm Pentagram has updated the handwriting analysis sample by creating a survey that helps you find the font that expresses your character.
After answering four short questions that try to determine your personality (are you emotional or rational? understated or assertive? traditional or progressive? relaxed or disciplined?), the analyst gives you one of 16 typefaces that matches yours. They include simple fonts such as Cooper Black Italic or Baskerville Italic, as well as ornamental ones such as Lettres Ornées, or the stylized Bifur or Dot Matrix.
But the fun doesn't stop here: you can also find out who else is your type (from all the people who entered the survey) and learn about the history of the typeface as well as how exactly it relates to your character.
As design magazine Fast Company points out: "If you've ever sat down with a type designer, what you quickly realize is that they rarely talk about fonts in purely aesthetic or even functional terms: They talk about assertiveness or calm or friendliness. In short, they talk about personality traits. It makes sense, then, that your personality could be translated into a typeface."
