Once again research has lead to a new site with a lot of information regarding typography and stereotyping. The site talks about how typefaces are stated as feminine and masculine through their use of shape.
- Script type usually classed as feminine
- Bold san-serif type usually male
This is because men are seen in society as strong so a typeface that is bold with sharp corners reflects that of a man's personality. Whereas women are delicate, with curves that wouldn't hurt anyone. This is societies view and has been taught to us on a mass scale everything should be personal prefference not what someone has told you to enjoy.
