Helps Make the Internet

Justin Dickinson Hi, how's it going? I'm Justin. I live in Brooklyn and design at Vimeo I like to cook and look at things on the Internet.

I share all the cool things I find at A Variety of Things. I think bears are awesome. You should definitely watch some of my favorite videos.

I'm on Twitter but don't use it that much. If you want to say hi that's cool too.

Serious Sans sees Microsoft’s silly, inescapable font called to heel and given a shampoo and style. Struggling to understand what could possibly be good about Comic Sans, Valerio — together with partners Hugo Timm, Filip Tydén and Erwan Lhussier — found that the doggedly goofy font’s irregular forms made it one of the easiest typefaces for dyslexics to read. The designers also liked how it undermined the authority — and changed the meaning — of texts set in it.
