I am a font. I’m Copperplate31ab.
You’re a font—Southbee Two.
I am elegant and stately—I live on wedding invitations.
You are playful and informal. You live beside railroad tracks, and on those rock walls along two-lane roads. High-school Romeos proclaim their love with you.
I win points for being subtle and intellectual.
You get points for being real and authentic.
I get points for balance and restraint.
You get points for telling it like it is.
I get penalized for being professorial and aloof.
You get penalized for being overly simplistic and intemperate.
I can succeed in places that you can’t, and you can win the war of words where I can’t even gain entrance.
I am a font—Copperplate31ab. I grew up in Hawaii and California. My father was from Africa, my mother from Kansas.
You are a font—Southbee Two. You grew up at Andover and Yale, and maybe a little in the White House.
How come I’m Copperplate? I should be Southbee.
And how did you get to be Southbee? You should be Copperplate.
We should stop trying to be the fonts we want to be, and start being the fonts we are.
