Cats are reimagined as fonts for our pure visual delight

21 Feb 2012 14:31:04 GMT

What font you choose for your email signature or Word doc default often lends insight into your personality or your mood, which has naturally inspired a clever person to "out" each typeface's personality through a bizarre series of cat portraits from Buzzfeed. Appealing to both feline fanciers and typography geeks who can differentiate between hairline and demi-bold, the visually addicting expose making the social media rounds reveals the hipster behind Helvetica and the old-time reporter vibe of Courier -- all by placing the purring posers in a variety of font-inspired backgrounds and costumes. There are a few disappointing omissions, though: We would have liked to have seen the tabby take on Poor Richard, Avant Garde and Minion.

It really does not matter if you are a cat lover or a dog lover - I am a cat person, but I love dogs as well....I just do not want one of my own mainly because it is easier for me to understand cats, and it works for my llifestyle....the thing is they are all of them are precious babies that love us as we are.....I understand the playfull cats vs. dog thing, and though I have a place in my heart for dogs too for real - lol cats rule......I love both and they are precious, and special and we are so blessed to have their love.

Wendy, I have to agree with you.  Cat people and dog people always tease each other about how their choice is best, but it is usually good natured teasing.  Lifestyle sometimes dictates the pet we choose.  People who abuse or torture animals should be beaten with a ball bat.  If they abuse helpless animals, what do you suppose they do to their kids or spouses?

I have nothing against Dogs, but I am most definately a Cat person - I would chose all of them  but especially Gothum which I know I have misspelled - 2 of my 3 cats are black.  There are cat people like myself, dog people, and cat and dog people - does not matter....they are all super special....and this is all in fun, so love, pure love.....no hate, no competition....our animal babies are special.....but as a cat person that also loves dogs, just does not have one I say Cats Rule, Dogs Drool...Lol

Wow!  I thought animal lovers were a little more mellow.  Some of these comments are obviously meant specifically to get a rise out of cat lovers, and really serve no purpose except providing a cheap laugh to the writer.

 

I have greyhounds, which are probably the most cat-like dogs there are if you see how they stretch, rub up against you, and sleep all day.  They are very laid back and loving creatures.

 

Though having greyhounds often precludes having cats too (since some greyhounds just can't curb their chase instinct), I still love nearly all animals, including cats, and would never consider hurting any dog or cat.  I think there should be much more serious penalties for animal abusers.

All you people who hate cats, go to hell. They are the most beautiful, graceful living animals. And they are much smarter than all you doucebags.

Dogfood fonts????

Cats do not deserve to be shot or ran over.  They are living creatures who help keep the mice and rat population down.  Shame on some of your comments-they are evil.
