I found this on tumblr and loved it instantly. Not only does the word weird contain back words letters, but the each word is a different font. Talk about a PLETHORA OF FONTS in this picture! The negative space being blue is perfect to contrast the clean white and purple( positive space), which makes the typefaces stand out even more so. I also feel as though the typefaces are speaking to the viewer. YOU'RE is bold and denotes new and bold( as if meeting someone for the first time). The WEIRD symbolizes someone who is weird and breaks the norms, so it makes sense why the words are not all facing one way. Should be friends is in a typeface that is almost comfortable enough to look at and definitely gives off a more vibrant feel than the words above. Last, but not least the friends portion of this picture has a wonderful and bubbly typeface in addition to the index of friendship( which is the handshake). I can't help but smile when I see this picture, maybe because it's relatable? I am beginning to notice how pivotal typography is in all that we see; advertisements, commercials,websites, news papers, books, magazines,etc...
Type can change your feelings towards whatever it is written on and representing. This typeface is not crowded or too bold, it's simply cute. Now I have got to run, to go partake in some weird activities of course.
