I considered posting this in the main forum but figured this was specific enough to go here.
Out of all the fonts (free, preinstalled on computers, paid, or whatnot) out there, what font best represents you? Typography is, after all, an important message and the fonts that we use can tell a lot about who the person is.
Discuss: What font best describes you? What font would you like to be? What are your other favourite fonts?
I'm a big fan of Helvetica. It's sharp, chic, bold, simple, serious, and yet elegant and classy. Though it doesn't represent me at all, it's harsh beauty and elitist style, coupled with it's international allure, makes me wish Helvetica was me represented as a font.
In reality, I'm probably more of a Georgia or possibly Times New Roman (I REALLY hope Georgia) because it's simple, elegant, but it's not as harshly elitist as Helvetica is. I can be casual and simple but still have elegance without being Look-At-Me-I'm-Elitist-Helvetica.
Other favourites... I have way too many that I use. It really depends on the situation for me.

Ok, I've been very excited about this topic since you posted it, and after much introspection (and filtering through 700+ fonts...) I've narrowed my selection down to TWO fonts...
They are: Phrixus and Port Credit.
They are both generally upright fonts, which lends them an air of respectability and class, but neither of them is too stiff. They both have just a touch of flare to them.
Personally, I like Port Credit a little more. It seems slightly more formal and classy. It's also more complete. Unfortunately, Phrixus probably represents me a little better. It is fundamentally flawed by being a small caps only font, relating to fundamental personal character flaws. It's unrefined by lacking Euro-characters, relating to a lack of world experience. And I don't like the "O", relating to my dislike of certain things about me...
As for favorite fonts? Whew... Where to begin...
That's just my take on it, and a cursory one at that...

124-C xalesayt I actually create my own font. However I have to say that Iron Maiden font is close to representing me. Both simplistic style and attitude. http://www.maiden-world.com/articles/iron-maiden-fonts-typography.html I'm quite curious as this font that you create...
I've created fonts similar to that for my own projects, but I have used that font from Iron Maiden for random things.
