I think plainly and therefore choose to represent myself in that manner. While I haven’t much dealt with fonts as deeply as others, I think a square or sans serif font is most appropriate. Sure, some people may appreciate some of the decorative or stylish ones to represent themselves, I kind of like the classics and think that one can never go wrong using them. In many cases like advertisements and posters, those types of fonts are quite appropiate as long as they are read in short amounts. But when their is a plethora of information, they become a distraction and sometimes un-readable. I think if they are used strategically and intelligently, they will convey the right emotion and message. Much like this gatorade bottle I’m looking at. It incorporates the use of traditional square serif font for only one word “Series”. It gives it a sense of nobility and credibility apart form the sans serif fonts surrounding it.
