Heck, that's how I found about it myself.

And your point is?

?
We're talking about Typophile's "Handpicked" column
on the front page, right? Isn't it normal for a font that
"grew up" here to speak more to the heart of this place?

I thought we celebrated TYPE here Hrant. A good font is a good font. Who cares if it "grew up here."

Can't wait for YOUR first good one... I'll be the first to bitch if it is not on the handpicked page :-)

OK Santa, make sure you give gifts to all
the children in the world, not just yours!

You have no idea Hrant, and will never know... so don't go there.

...let not the thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth. Matt 6:3, I believe!

Handpicked is something done by the moderators. It happens when something we come across strikes our fancy. At least that is how I use it.
