The most beautiful font ever. Although, this Metropolis is pretty nice, too.

This has an art nouveau feeling.

I'd say Art Deco, Art Nouveau's successor, but obviously there aren't fine lines between them.

When I think Art Nouveau, I think wavy, curvy script; everything was just a little psychedelic in Art Nouveau.

1920's, in any case.

Love the lowercase, hate the uppercase. Look at what they did to my boy B.

I love Century Gothic and most of Futura, though I'm not sure how I feel about Futura's lowercase j.

Gets the job done, with minimal effort.

I really love the numbers, though.

I've discovered that it's a horrible screen font, though: far too spindly to be easily readable. I still use it, but I have to make it larger than usual and bold, and it's still a little hard to make out sometimes.

Oh, what we sacrifice for aesthetics.

0 seems a bit too indistinguishable from O, but otherwise I'm also a big fan of the numbers.

I have the urge to drink martini and rewatch The Great Gatsby.

And Jeeves & Wooster, and Poirot.

Poirot is obviously the inspiration here, in style and name.
