Take this fun test on Pentagram’s website at www.pentagram.com/what-type-are-you. Pentagram is a British design firm.

Can’t say the test is accurate—first time I took it my answers linked me to Architype Van Doesburg.

I think it’s awful. According to the site, this font expresses “strength of form and firmness of purpose.” It’s a “brutally fair” typeface, in which every letter occupies equal space. Apparently I would “wrestle anyone who claims C is less important than D.” Hmm, I am a bit strong, I admit that, but brutal? Would I wrestle someone over a typeface? Certainly not this one.
