I'd long ago given up in the race for resident font geek, my onetime street cred having long since dwindled to a snowy fate. (Except for a spotting of Treefrog in the sign for the Central Park Zoo's Leaping Frog Cafe, too low-hanging a fruit to pass up.) But I've got a new favorite: Jos Buivenga's Delicious. True to its name, this font is indeed quite tasty: legible at small sizes, and quietly interesting at larger ones:

It's runtish, as is obvious from setting it next to Arial, Lucida Grande, Trebuchet at the same point size. At the same visual size, Delicious is better kerned and this is especially evident in print. (well, fine, so Arial doesn't put up much of a fight):

The contrast I set up above isn't just a literary turn of phrase. It is, in fact, one of the few fonts that I've found to hold up well at nearly any size on the spectrum. As its designer Jos Buivenga explains, one of the reasons is that each letterform is unique: the curve of the "b" isn't just a mirrored "p", for example.

Anyway, I'm hereby going to start pimping it as much as possible. Where appropriate. Which is just about everywhere. Consider yourselves forewarned.
