Turn down? For what?
Why would I put one of my filthy dishtowels anywhere near clean dishes?
Futura never gets old, does it?
I don’t even know what you are arguing for anymore. I think it is best to have a party that strives to really represent my interests at the risk of excluding people whose political views I find odious and unacceptable. The constant urge to pander to the middle leads to a party that doesn’t stand for anything.

Are you applying for a graphic design job? If so, continue to worry. If not, you’re fine.
I would like it to stay unpopular with designers. I really like it as a typeface and don’t want to see it go the way of Helvetica.
Book Antiqua is the name Monotype/Microsoft gave to their clone of the original typeface Palatino.
You know it, you love it, you can’t live without it, it’s Helvetica! The font synonymous with great design is always a good choice if you’re not sure how to proceed with your pick of typeface.
Yeah, and California used to be Mexico. What does that have to do with politics in 2017?
