What Font Is Your Beard? Use This Chart To Find Out
The Typography Beard Guide pairs popular beard styles with their font brothers.
How sans serif is your beard? Are your chin whiskers more of a Bodoni, a Times, or a Comic Sans? Exactly what typographical allegiances does your facial 'fro owe? And what is your favorite font’s beard brother?
These are the questions asked by the Typography Beard Guide, a humorous chart by artist and beard wearer Christian Goldemann, in which 25 popular facial hair styles are assigned a font based upon their layout and characteristics of its follicles.
Asked by Co.Design about what makes a good font brother for a beard, the Stuttgart graphic designer is the first to admit he can’t really explain it in words. "For most of the facial hair styles, I picked fonts based upon the shape of the beard or whether a particular person who wore that kind of beard would have favored a particular font," Goldemann tells me. "But it’s more than just linking a certain beard to a font that was contemporary at a time, or to a person. There’s no set formula."
