I haven’t used Times New Roman since 2008 but I still see it pop up in the wild every now and again. So I made an explainer video about why you should stop using it and what you should use instead. #TypographyNerd

I think Franklin Gothic is cooler than Helvetica, so I made a video about why you should use it more often. And since the Franklin Gothic font you get with Windows and Office 365 isn’t particularly good, I recommend a few great free and paid alternatives. #TypographyNerd

Collage of two images. The image on the left is of a group of people standing on a large outdoor balcony. A sign affixed to the balcony railing reads, "Sheep". Text overlaid on this image reads, "Helvetica" and it points to that sign. The image on the right is of a Bruce Springsteen album cover. It shows a grungy black-and-white photo looking out the front windscreen of a car driving down a dirt road on a flat expanse of land. Large, dark red coloured, all-caps text reads, "Bruce Springsteen" above this image and "Nebraska" below this image. Text overlaid on this album cover art reads, "Franklin Gothic" and points to the text above the image.
