- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.

The most beautiful font ever. Although, this Metropolis is pretty nice, too.
Love the lowercase, hate the uppercase. Look at what they did to my boy B.
I really love the numbers, though.
I've discovered that it's a horrible screen font, though: far too spindly to be easily readable. I still use it, but I have to make it larger than usual and bold, and it's still a little hard to make out sometimes.
Oh, what we sacrifice for aesthetics.
0 seems a bit too indistinguishable from O, but otherwise I'm also a big fan of the numbers.
I think the font heavily reuses glyphs. 0 probably literally is the same glyph as O. I'm positive 9 is just a rotated 6 (I guess that's pretty common, although it's really obvious in Poiret).
You might enjoy Futura, the ITC Avant Garde Gothic family, or Century Gothic...
I love Century Gothic and most of Futura, though I'm not sure how I feel about Futura's lowercase j.
Gets the job done, with minimal effort.
What're you looking at?? His gut?? He's working on it!
I have the urge to drink martini and rewatch The Great Gatsby.
And Jeeves & Wooster, and Poirot.
Poirot is obviously the inspiration here, in style and name.
actually disappointed that poirot doesn't have that font
This has an art nouveau feeling.
I'd say Art Deco, Art Nouveau's successor, but obviously there aren't fine lines between them.
When I think Art Nouveau, I think wavy, curvy script; everything was just a little psychedelic in Art Nouveau.
1920's, in any case.
