Typography

November 17th, 2007 by matt

We’re hoping it’s unnecessary, but we’ve made an appointment with a fertility specialist. The first round of Clomid didn’t seem to do the trick, so the Certified Nurse Midwife we’ve been seeing is putting Rachel on a higher dose, but suggested that we might as well set up a meeting with a reproductive endocrinologist, just in case. The appointment isn’t for several weeks, but yesterday a big packet of information arrived at the house.

First impressions? Mixed. It included a very thorough pre-screening questionnaire, including one question that I have to assume is there to weed out the morons. (“During intercourse, does your partner ejaculate in the vagina?”) The introductory letter was very professional and reassuring, and made it clear that I was invited and encouraged to be present at all of the appointments; I like that. Despite all that, I’m not sure I can get over my initial negative reaction: the letter was written in Comic Sans. Comic. Fucking. Sans.

I’m not sure I can trust someone with such poor taste in typography to have his mitts all over my wife’s lady-parts.
