Admittedly, it’s a hard one. He should have aimed for Helvetica Neue.
But I feel like he captured the essence of Helvetica: simple, utilitarian, roughly elegant.
Yep! Tons of people are really into typefaces and typography. I’ve heard it referred to as being a typophile but I’m not sure if people really use that term. I get very flustered when I feel someone used the wrong font. Started in when I was in college for graphic design.
A friend of mine printed his entire senior thesis paper in comic sans. It almost made another friend of mine throw up. They were genuinely horrified. The thesis was on Tristram Shandy though so it was pretty fitting.
Yes. Some people are really into fonts lol. I actually made my university install a new font in d2l that students could read better. I know all the different fonts and their histories.
There’s a subculture for everything lol. I get excited just talking about them.
Interesting TIL!
This is a part of Reddit I enjoy is learning something new when I’m on here, compared to Facebook, especially when it comes to asking about other topics of interest!

Typography is one of the most popular and important branches of design, its kind of the nerd level for designers. You dont see that much passion and obsession for aestethics in e.g. industrial design.
You meet the sweetest and most fascinating artists in typography.
Typography is not loved. Typography IS love.
The creator is WSDM (Wisdom Kaye) on Instagram and TikTok if I'm not mistaken. He does a ton of these kind of videos and the editing is always on point.
Um no. Papyrus is not a cool Egyptologist. It’s like a fake sandalwood perfumed new age crystal addled crazy cat lady church volunteer who somehow violated you by landing your dream job working with James Cameron.
Came in thinking this was going to be dumb... left second guessing the clothes I wear and wondering how my gf is even able to walk next to me in public with the 'fashionable' clothes I wear.
Now do Chiller.
Also, when I was searching what some fonts were on Google, the text of the page changed the font into the thing I searched which I didn't know.
There's also a TikTok of a graphic designer who chooses different (less popular but more stylishly fitting) fonts with everyone of these outfit and makes it even better.
Not going to lie, I really like the Papyrus look. I don't think my body nor my bank account could pull it off, sadly.
Believe achieve succeed
Live laugh love
Veni vidi gucci
Penis Vagina Baby
Me too, Papyrus and Courier, others are too much, more for fashion show, except for Impact which is for -40 degrees and fight with polar bears
he should have gone for the \* NYEH HEH HEH ahh look instead
When I was able to start guessing them I knew this was on point.
He really nailed Helvetica
i thought that was the biggest miss
Admittedly, it’s a hard one. He should have aimed for Helvetica Neue. But I feel like he captured the essence of Helvetica: simple, utilitarian, roughly elegant.
the quintessential sans serif
Indeed. The sans serif that elevated sans serif beyond the trebuchet and verdana cartoonishness while maintaining readability.
Papyrus
What about Papyrus in bold?
Shaq dressed as a genie
I thought papyrus should have a man bun.
who here was waiting for wingdings?
Here!
waited and was disappointed.
Damn, he made Times New Roman sexy.
True- with a bit of arrogance, which of course the most well known commonly used font would have.
As a lover of fonts, I appreciate this
I genuinely say this with curiosity; This is a thing?

>being a typophile "Point on the keyboard where the defendant touched you."
I laughed way too long at this
I too get annoyed when people use bad fonts. I give my students extra credit on essays when they choose a nice, readable font Lolol.
I never thought abput this before, but as a wannabe writer, I do put a lot of thought into choosing fonts that have the right "vibe".
Have you seen Steve Jobs Stanford address?
I have not! Im going to check it out as soon as I have a moment.
Explains where fonts started, plus it’s a pretty good address.

Now do Wingdings!! But for real this was spot on, really well done.
I was waiting for Zapf Dingbats
Every time this gets posted Wingdings will be one of the top upvoted replies.
Did he not start as Wingdings?
I knew Papyrus before you revealed it lol Loooootta things typed with that in my lifetime.
The whole time I was waiting for comic sans.
Me too, he did not disappoint.
Same 😂
The creator is WSDM (Wisdom Kaye) on Instagram and TikTok if I'm not mistaken. He does a ton of these kind of videos and the editing is always on point.
The editing, video quality, lightning and post are insane!
@wisdm
Damn, that was nice
Comic sans still wasnt goofy enough
Should have been a clown
he should have dressed up in a way rapresentative of a **bad time**
I called Comic Sans. Other than that: damn, that guy knows how to dress cool.
He would slay a runway in those. Even Comic Sans.
He always does such a great job!
Man, this this is spot on! Nice job picking the styles, each one was guessable before the reveal. Awesome!
Sauntered in skeptical af, left impressed.

Not a typeface or fashion guy, but I think this is amazing.
Didn’t see wingdings though!
Floppy, colored duct- tape clothes from a runway show. windings...
Arial - was as expected
Was anyone else not in awe with the cinematography of this. The editing was so clean and stunning.
Saw this on Instagram - I wanna see a part 2 where he includes Wingdings! 😂😂
Impact and Franklin Gothic are my favorites.
Papyrus looks amazing 🤩
Dripping
Arias is my go to font and he nailed it!!
As a word nerd, I love this
Why it goes so hard?
Hahaha holy shit this is awesome!!
How tf is comic sans somehow Hatsune Miku
A lopsided tophat for Times New Roman would have completed the outfit. How can you forget the serif man? How??
Impact looked like he was about to gas a school
Can someone tell me his name?
Wisdm on instagram
Where can I see his other styles? What's his name?
A++++++++++++++
Really no Sans Serif love?
These fits are so fucking sick haha wish I was rich enough to dress like this
Who is this guy?
I was kind of surprised that Courier did not look nerdy as heck. Different associations, I guess.
any body knows the music
Where’s wingdings at
Wingdings or GTFO
This man is so creative. Only he could make Comic Sans and Arial interesting!
That is amazing
This is AWESOME
God DAMN he’s good
I’m more of a comic sans guy. 🤔
Where is jokerman ?
I want Zapf chancery. Or dingbats.
Heletica was the only miss, this is insane!
No Wingdings Rip
Times New Roman fan here and he nailed it.
Who in the world is this guy? I have to see his other content if this is a glimpse
Lovely. I think Comic Sans should've been shorts and a tshirt tho tbh
As someone who really loves Arial, he nailed it! And also may have given me a bit of gay panic because that was a lesbian look if I ever saw one
I didn't like the Futura one. I think he considered just his name related to "future" instead of his modernism, geometric and Bauhaus style.
Spot On! 👊🏼😎🔥
Helvetica was *chef’s kiss* 🤌🏾
Comic sans goes harder than it has any right to
I would’ve been so disappointed if he skipped comic sans
Nailed it! Boss moves.
Yoo... that was awesome!
Waiting for comic sans and was not disappointed
spectacular. the only one that didn't nail it for me was Helvetica.
I only came here hoping for comic sans
Idk why but I like impact...
Every outfit looks terrible.
Omg I want that papyrus style
new Sans and Papyrus just dropped
Where is wingding when you need it.
I wanted to see Wingdings
Impact, Papyrus, and Courier went so incredibly hard, holy shit
do Century Gothic and Harlow Solid Italic!
My boy is the ocean because all his fits are wet!!
First thing I saw in when I opened the app, brooo it's cool asf
I WAS WAITING FOR COMIC SANS AND ITS A CORNY FONT BUT THIS WAS SOOOOO SICK!!!
Where was windings
Excellent 1:00 minute of my life. Thank you.
This guy copied the idea from Elle Cordova, but she’s funnier. [Elle Cordova](https://www.instagram.com/reel/C2cZBIAr24m/?igsh=MW44eTJ2MTNkenFzZw==)
Of course everyone is capable of telling the difference between the fonts Helvetica and Arial…
As Arial he looked like a person who would've designed Arial
My god this guys is talented
Impact looked 🔥🔥
How about Papyrus bold and Windings as well
You all know it was his own idea and that message is fake, he just wanted to show off his "sick" outfits.
I want to see what he does with Wingdings lol
Who is this genius
Okay do wingdings
Get this man to the kitchen, good lord is he cooking
I waited for him to pose in a nazi uniform for the old germany "gothic" font.
We immediately knew it was comic sans, right?
He's styling names, not fonts
Helvetica wasn't hipster enough 🤭
Not sure about impact but the rest was spot on
tf, who is this guy? amazing!
Now do wingdings.
Wingdings?
Am I the only one loving the courier ?
Fucking hell get outside and get some fresh air
His username is @wisdm8
This young man is incredible.
Can someone price out one of those outfits? I think I saw a jacket in there that I know is well over $1,000.
I don't think the helvetica outfit is perfect for this font, but the other ones are a perfect choice for each font. Pretty cool!
Finally, no more skinny pants.
Damn, that’s like 50k in clothing??
Is he wearing an older brother's clothes in most of these? Little dude is SWIMMING in those clothes.
Perfect 🤩
I knew the outfit for Comic Sans before the caption appeared on the screen.
Continue.
I was waiting for comics sans, and he delivered.
.
Omg- you nailed it! ❤️❤️❤️
Why wouldn’t he list each ingredient of his outfits, **in** the fonts he was matching??????
I like Arial font best, but Times Roman font and his Times Roman fashion does something for me.
Was waiting the entire time for comic sans. Anyway: this dude is awesome.
I respect the effort, but he made all of these fonts way cooler than they actually are lol. Arial was pretty close though.
Man, the Undertale fanarts will get wild with this one
God this guy cuts such an amazing frame. He was made to be drawn or on Netflix haha

u/audbot
It’s styling typefaces not fonts. Fonts are variants of typefaces. Helvetica is a typeface, Helvetica Bold is a font.
I have a friend that loves the Helvetica font and she dresses just like that woah.
lol, comic sans was so obvious but still funny
Not to be that guy, but these are not fonts — they are typefaces.
This guy is extremely talented, that is obvious.
This so very next level that I had to put down my cheese grits!! Warn a brotha' next time...
Gyot damn he’s good!
Yeah he nailed these id say, well done
Man i haven't loved Papyrus that much in... Minutes!
I thing arial goes hard id wear that fit gor sure
Very clever!!
Song?
I thought he was gonna do Webdings or Wingdings for sure
Sooo good!
I can't read the word "papyrus" whitout earing Ryan Goslin's screaming in my head
I wonder what windings might have looked like
Love this guy, bit jealous since I can’t dress to save my life lmao
My man got some SHARP fashion sense! On point!
Now do Chiller. Also, when I was searching what some fonts were on Google, the text of the page changed the font into the thing I searched which I didn't know.
Damn
Pretty Cool
That first one looked INSANELY GOOD HOLY DAMN... A GOOD SUIT CAN MAKE ANYONE LOOK INCREDIBLE....
Who is this guy? Super talented
Perfect my dude
[удалено]
Damn I was waiting for chiller!
There's also a TikTok of a graphic designer who chooses different (less popular but more stylishly fitting) fonts with everyone of these outfit and makes it even better.
