LA-based singer, songwriter, and content-creator Elle Cordova has come up with a series of videos that imagine different types of typefaces hanging out together, and the funny conversations between them.
It’s a hilarious take on the characters behind our characters, making you think twice about who you’re inviting to your next “document party”.
The videos have gone viral across platforms with over 70 million combined views. Cordova perfectly embodies the personality nuances of these fonts, showing us the quirky personalities hidden in plain sight on our keyboards. Watch below.
