We had a ton of funny, creative and interesting posts in our font haiku contest. Our panel of judges met this morning and after a bit of hearty deliberation in a smoke-filled back room, here are the final results.

The winner of the $50 iTunes gift certificate and Extensis prize pack is Krishna.

Second place, winning Starbucks gift cards and more goes to Megan E.

now Gill Condensed wants spacing
please don’t lead me on

And third place goes to Leach with his entry:

On the midnight train,
There it sits, italicized:
‘Georgia’ on my mind.

Congratulations to all of the winners! You have our undying admiration.

I also would be remiss if I didn’t publicize a few honorable mentions. These other poems were in close contention for the lead. We give you all virtual high-fives.

How do I love the
Binary? Let me count the

Obama gave you
A nation’s love. But Gotham
You’ll always be mine

Razor sharp serifs
balanced by those lovely curves,
I love Bodoni.
