I only know because a friend of mine studied design at the university.

Seems fine to me, it’s a fun piece of trivia for me that I am happy my friend told me. And at the same time, I don’t feel cheated for not having learned it myself in my education as mine was not in design :p

Also it does open up a neat avenue for designers to troll people if they are feeling mischievous.

Designer: “There you go – different font!” :^)
