Coffee Font

Conversation at mid-morning…

Ralph: Check out the sign on the window.

Bill: Yeah, looks alright, I guess.

Ralph: But do you see how the letters resemble coffee beans? Pretty clever, right?

Bill: Hmm, seems like a bit of overthinking, don't you think?

Ralph: It's like a modern-day Chinese pictograph, telling a story with its design.

Bill: Well, to me, it's just eye candy.

Ralph: Different strokes for different folks. But you know, companies shell out big bucks for cool font designers.

Bill: True. I mean, imagine if they used Comic Sans. Huh. Epic job loss.

Ralph: And Helvetica would be too sterile for a cozy coffee shop.

Matching a name to a font involves consideration of the person or entity’s personality, symbolic associations, expression of an abstract concept, visual allegory, perhaps a cultural or a narrative connection. You can go with instinct but having criteria in mind help.
