323701, Yeah. No one ever really questions the beauty of the font

Some just express exasperation over how it's often used. (By people.)

Someone called it the font of city life, or something similiar, and that's kind of how I feel, too. So I'm okay with it's use for certain things that fit in that context, and I appreciate that something that's everywhere is actually beautiful, but it's kind of cold and a little alienating to me. It's like 2001: A Space Odyssey: The Font!

Maybe because I'm a copywriter, I like fonts with a little bit more narrative power--something to give my headlines a little bit of help, because oh man, do they need it.
