Fonts the morning after Halloween 🌅 🎃
1. Comic Sans: Still in costume. Nobody knows what it is. Says it was the best night of his life.
2. Papyrus: Still dressed as a mummy. Will be dressed as a mummy until next year.
3. Helvetica: Left early, got a full night’s sleep, and is already at the gym.
4. Arial: Saw the photos and realized everyone noticed he wore the same costume as Helvetica.
5. Chiller: The fog machine is still running. Nobody knows how to turn it off.

Sometimes the best thing you can do is step away and come back with fresh eyes. 👀
