What type(face) are you?

Design firm Pentagram has updated the handwriting analysis sample by creating a survey that helps you find the font that expresses your character.

After answering four short questions that try to determine your personality (are you emotional or rational? understated or assertive? traditional or progressive? relaxed or disciplined?), the analyst gives you one of 16 typefaces that matches yours. They include simple fonts such as Cooper Black Italic or Baskerville Italic, as well as ornamental ones such as Lettres Ornées, or the stylized Bifur or Dot Matrix.

But the fun doesn't stop here: you can also find out who else is your type (from all the people who entered the survey) and learn about the history of the typeface as well as how exactly it relates to your character.

As design magazine Fast Company points out: "If you've ever sat down with a type designer, what you quickly realize is that they rarely talk about fonts in purely aesthetic or even functional terms: They talk about assertiveness or calm or friendliness. In short, they talk about personality traits. It makes sense, then, that your personality could be translated into a typeface."
