> Look at that molecular structure. Incredible. Two amide bonds, a completely unremarkable aryl ether and an unsubstituted naphthalene ring system. Something about this delivery reminds of the business-card scene from Psycho [0]. > Look at that subtle off-white coloring, the tasteful thickness of it--Oh my God, it even has a watermark..."

I think I just found my new favorite font. I'm absolutely addicted to grotesque sans-serif, I used to use Roboto everywhere, but now I'm currently using Cantarell (GNOME's default font, a humanist typeface) as my desktop font and as an overwrite font for every single website I open, but I might just start using Plex Sans and Plex Mono now. Thank god it's OFL. I still find it fascinating that there are so many different typefaces with such subtle differences in them, but since I'm looking at characters in the screen the entire day, these characters better be beautiful and pleasing. I'm not gonna lie, every time I swap fonts on my desktop I keep remembering that one scene from American Psycho [0]. Maybe I should touch some grass. [0]: [VIDEO]

It's riffing on [VIDEO] (I "got" what the post was about but took a minute to dig up the actual scene, I didn't know what the item was in the movie)
