It is actually a very feminine font. (And to be pedantic, the "Linotype" portion of the name is the name of the foundry and not really required to identify the font. In fact, it may not be correct if you are not using Linotype's Palatino. All of the major foundries have a Palatino.)

I know I am in the minority, but I really despise Helvetica.

Oh, how fun. Dissecting personality traits by font preferences. This is great.

My fav font is Tahoma.

What does that say about me Dr. Kevy?


(Other than I obviously have certain masochists tendencies to ask something like that in the first place... )

That you have a propensity for lying: especially in on-line signatures.

Actually, Palatino is the only one I remember because I am such a fan of it.
