Student: "But sir, I had a very good reason for using Verdana."
Professor: "What historical or cultural ties could Verdana have in Hound of the Baskervilles? You might as well have used Baskerville!"
Student: "That would've been too obvious. But since my spread was on Sherlock Holmes, I figured that it would be appropriate to use a font that was all about the little hints."

Right on! Imagine what Paul would do if he laid eyes on Avenir.
Impossible. He died 32 years before it was designed.

That’s crazy, yo. What would the movie be called?
