Notes from the Frontier of Language

I haven't been able to find another instance of this word on the web, so I'm coining it now:

fontscious

font · scious [font shuhs] (fŏnt shəs)
 –adjective
1. aware of one's font use;
2. aware of what one is doing with fonts;
3. having the faculties to use fonts;
4. acutely aware or concerned about fonts;

ex. Pat Sajak's daughter is overly fontscious, as she spends more time deciding which font to use than she does on her actual homework.

Feel free to use this at will. To my design friends: Christmas come early.

Thanks to Bobby for this beaut.

Update: Thanks to Max for pointing out that the link was bad. It's fixed now! Watch the vid!

I like your faux-noun, Nick. I'll try it out around the office this week and see what happens.
