I am such a font snob. I was reading this really great story in an online literary journal and the font was driving me so nuts I copied and pasted it into word so that I could change the font.

Dear Google Docs,
Why on earth would you ever think I would want fonts sorted by popularity. Does ANYONE want fonts sorted by popularity? Pls make default alphabetical.

The new title type font and color in the NYT Book Review annoys me. Is it green? Teal? And why??????

CONGLOMERATE: A New Type Family from Typetanic
Sans or serif? Square or rounded? Calligraphic or geometric? Conglomerate is both all and none of these things — a subtle yet unorthodox blend of typographic traits resulting in a clean, unique, and versatile font family with large, open counters for legibility in text yet crisp, sharp details that sparkle at display sizes. Conglomerate is sturdy but never stiff, crisp but never stark — perfect for projects that require a more contemporary feel than either a traditional serif or geometric sans might bring.
Each style also contains an extensive set of OpenType features for quality typesetting — including small caps, proportional, tabular, lining, and oldstyle numerals, case-sensitive punctuation, ligatures, arbitrary fractions, localized forms, and elevated, underlined ordinal indicators for English, French, Spanish, Italian, and other languages. TTF versions have also been manually hinted for optimum screen clarity on Windows and the web.
