Did you hear? Comma and Period got married.
Really? Comma’s a great guy, but who’s Period?
Some moody chick he picked up at the Crossbar a year ago.
I bet she’s perfect for him.
Yep, she’s always finishing his sentences.

I got this neat idea for a movie. You know Paul Renner, right?
Duh, he designed Futura. Classic, but clunky, not as nice as Avenir.
Right on! Imagine what Paul would do if he laid eyes on Avenir.
Impossible. He died 32 years before it was designed.
Not in my movie. Let’s say he’s found this time machine…and he uses it to to spy on Frutiger’s drafts for Avenir, and he comes back in time, uses the knowledge gained, and revises his own Futura!
That’s crazy, yo. What would the movie be called?
Back to the Futura.
Fucking brilliant.
