I'm in love with Aphrodite. The typeface family. What were you thinking? ; )

These are two gorgeous typefaces.  I want them.

"Aphrodite Slim Pro has duplicated the quantity of characters of its partner, and that means more than 500 new glyphs, reaching a total of more than 1000."

Squeeeeeeeeal!

I have such a soft spot in my heart for calligraphic typefaces. Especially ones as beautiful as these, with their gorgeous flourishes on the ascender and descenders. Look at that uppercase A and the lowercase n in "Affection."  The crossbar of the t in "Suerte."  The ligatures on the double fs and ls.
 So lovely. <*sigh*>

Comic Sans - "Like daffodils in motherf#!king spring."

I despise Comic Sans.  But this is hilarious.
