In preparing for this font, I asked 50 second graders what they would do if they could be scientifically transformed into a all-powerful robo-person. 42% of them said they would go on a “crushing things with bare hands” rampage, 28% would make their teacher give them straight “A+++’s”, and 12% thought it would be fun to pretend to be a fake robot on the street and when people walked by, grab them and scare them. One kid even said he’d go to a club and do “the robot”. I asked him what kind of club lets second graders in, and he said “a robot club”. Oh, to be seven years old again.
