Papyrus is lovely too!
although for me, not always "practical" to use for boring everyday stuff (résumés, etc.)
(i was never a typesetter, but did a lot of proofreading, editing in the 1980s)

I keep seeing people say that they can identify "AI"/LLM-generated text because it uses em-dashes.
Goddammit, *I* routinely use em-dashes when I'm typing and there's a place an em-dash belongs – it would be wrong not to. So what, now I'm going to be mistaken for a hallucinating computer because I type correctly?
(BTW, em-dash is just Option-dash on a Mac keyboard).

The Netflix original documentary series Abstract: The Art of Design devoted an episode to Jonathan Hoefler and his work. Instead of merely sitting for a profile, Hoefler collaborated to create a one-hour documentary about the craft itself, to introduce viewers to the fascinating phenomena that shape our modern alphabets. Now streaming in 190 countries and dubbed into thirty languages, the episode that introduced the world to typeface design has been nominated for a Primetime Emmy Award.
