Picking a font for your Google Doc doesn’t seem like a big deal. But it says more than your actual resumé. You reveal a lot of trauma making this choice, and let me tell you, that’s something you want to do with your therapist, not with the sales department. So, before you get too personal with your coworkers, here is what your favorite letter font says about you:
Impact
You are the kind of person everyone says, “Jesus, you’re being too loud, stop shouting,” to and answers, “I’m not shouting, you’re shouting” even louder.
Papyrus
People don’t even need to ask you your favorite movie, everyone knows it’s Avatar. Man, don’t make those blue guys be your whole personality even when signing emails.
Party LET
You are the kind of person who thinks they’re funny, but just by your looks, you get kicked out of every comedy club, even if you just bought a ticket for a show.
Georgia
You think you’re different and picked this one because you believe you are classy, but not fancy classy, just “I don’t post mom stories on Instagram” classy.
Comic Sans
You are still trapped in your childhood because, like this font, you loved attention growing up and aren’t ready to move on to an adult font like Arial.
Times New Roman
You have been using this letter font since college because they told you that it makes you look professional, and it’s the perfect cover for your favorite one, Comic Sans.
Helvetica
You can’t be more basic, like, what are you? An iPhone keyboard?
Herculanum
You saw the Papyrus guys and thought “Avatar? What are you 10?” And then decided you were going to be 7 years old and write as if you were in the Disney movie Hercules.
American Typewriter
You either love old crime movies or think having a typewriter makes you cooler. You need to move on and actualize yourself. The 1990s are over, and so is your personality.
So go ahead and use your favorite font, but don’t look surprised when you get an email from HR.
