Should I dress as a font for halloween?

None of my friends are designers, but the idea amuses me very much.

I am slender, w beard and glasses. Perhaps Helvetica Neue Light would be appropriate?

Comic Sans or Papyrus might be more amusing, though.

What do you think?

I love the idea, but I wonder how you'd dress up as a font exactly...
Either way, Comic Sans is the way to go for true horror! Your non-designer friends might even get that.
Oh, and please post pics afterwards! ;-)

Ouchies...! I can see it already... Reams and reams of baddly-speeled text in gaily-tinted Comic Sans up and across the bloke... Ðe horror indeed.

You don't have to be the full fonty. Dingbat will suffice.

Ding-Bat-Man❣

I like Papyrus. You can try.

The only scary character I can think of is the dagger.

What about the tombstone?
