Common misconceptions
- I’m not German, I’m Austrian, but I speak German 😉.
- I’m not a type designer, so I don’t design fonts. But maybe some day in the future?
- I don’t hate Open Sans, but I hate it that everyone uses the same fonts, always.
- I have more than one shirt, but just like the blue one the most.
