I used to be much faster at font id, but then it was part of my job. I think my boss and I timed it over instant messenger at one point and it took me an average of sixteen seconds? The five minutes I spent looking for Palatino samples makes me feel a little lame and incompetent—the search parameters are much wider though, so I don't feel too bad.

Beagle and Link have maybe a similar approach to sneaking in fantastical elements into mundane settings and making genuinely odd circumstances seem mundane and matter-of-fact (enough not to question them, at least)?
