It's funny how the smallest details are considered and reconsidered in the name of aesthetics. For example, selecting the font for this site.

I knew I wanted the blog to be designed by me, not the default wordpress or typo theme. But my designs are heavily weighted towards fancy elements that won't work well for a hand-drawn comic. For example, color. And, well, straight lines.

So I looked at my Yet Another Comic main page for inspiration. It was a good enough design to expand into a blog, so I set to work.

But then I got to the part where I wanted to add blog text, and I realized none of the standard fonts would do. Verdana, Georgia, Helvetica, Arial are all so clean, and would look wrong in a hand-drawn interface.

So I settled on courier. If I'm going to have to use an boring computer font, I'm going to go all the way to 11 and pick something that looks like a typewriter.

So my goal is for the design of the blog to be like a typed manuscript with doodles on the margins.

Or the unibomber manifesto.
