What's more exciting than politics? Typefaces!
Nothing says topical hilarity like politician-themed non-serif fonts. (via @verymeanline)
That's right, we're talking about mother-fonting fonts. Specifically, #Hillvetica, a new typeface created by Philadelphia-based designer Rick Wolff (he originally titled it Hillary Bold, he quickly gave in to the much catchier hashtag name).

Wolff is crowdfunding an effort to turn the design into a fully-functional font you can download and use on your computer. In the meantime, people have been copying and pasting the letters by hand to create their own messages, or using a widget someone designed for the Washington Post. Some of them were incredibly creative, and others were more...inevitable.
Well, duh. (via @ElliotSchwartz)

We went to the Washington Post to play with their #Hillvetica tool to create a message we truly thought Hillary herself could endorse.
What slogans and/or uses for the font can you come up with?
