      Said it before and I’ll say it again: It’s crazy to me that tone centric fonts never happened. Tone is wildly important in all language, but there’s basically no good way to convey tone via text without stating the tone like some Newspeak shit. Meanwhile, we have all these rad fonts just hanging out on the proverbial bench, going totally unused, but I’m cursed to see and use exclusively good Times New Roman, plusgood Helvetica, and doubleplusgood Arial. Literally 1984.

      /hyperbole (but I really do think it would be a fun idea and I demand a hyperbole font).
